Rise up, blinking in the sun
Wrapped in invisible wire
Something beautiful's gonna come
Out from underneath our thumbs
So let freedom vibrate, not ring
'Cause we can't listen to everyone
Wanna hear ourselves sing
My oh my, what a wonderful day
We're having, we're having
Why, oh why, are we looking for a way
Outside it, outside it
I see the green grass below
I feel the warmth of the spring
Is it beautiful (maybe not, maybe not)
But maybe so
But if it keeps us singing
My oh my, what a wonderful day
We're having, we're having
Why, oh why, are we looking for a way
Outside it, outside it
How long, oh Lord, can you keep the whole world
Spinning under our thumbs?
Wrapped in invisible wire
