My Favorite Things

I like to see you and me
finally getting along, along
I like to see honest people
righting the world's wrongs
Writing the wrongs
I like to dream that someday
the whole world will hear my song
I like to ride these beats
so I can feel strong

Oh these are a few of my favorite things
They're the reasons why I sing
My favorite things

I like to see bouncing babies
with big ol' jaws
I like to see the youth marching,
marching for a cause, for a cause
I like to see the weary finally
getting ahead
And when the day is done
release my worries
when I climb into a warm bed

Oh these are a few of my favorite things
They're the reasons why I sing
My favorite things
Oh these are a few of my favorite things
They're the reasons why I sing
My favorite things

Like women growing old gracefully
A lover who always saves a place for me
An education that frees a child
A day that doesn't steal my smile
Green things growing up from the ground
And enough love to go around
Mama's happy and daddy's proud
Being aloud to live out loud
with open hearts and open minds
And love that lasts for a lifetime
Summer sun and autumn leaves
A wounded soul that still believes
that words of kindness and helping hands
reverberate across the land
People working towards their dreams
I think a better world is closer than it seems

Yeah,
people working towards their dreams
I think a better world is closer than it seems
