Beginning With You Songtext
von Larnelle Harris

Late last night I had a dream
That the world was a perfect place
Every street was filled with peace and love
But then I woke and rubbed my eyes
Thinking no trace of the night was left
But all day long I′ve been saying to myself

If you want a world that's more loving
Then you′ve got to love somebody
You wanna be in a world that's more caring
Then reach out and help somebody
You make the world a better place (ooh)
Beginning with you

And if I say it loud enough
Maybe somebody else will hear
That love is still the greatest of all gifts
And if we give ourselves in love
The world will see it right away, yeah
'Cause, it keeps tabs with every step we take


If you want a world that′s more loving
Then you′ve got to love somebody
You wanna be in a world that's more caring (more caring)
Hey reach out and help somebody (somebody)
You′ll make the world a better place (oooh)
For you, all through (all through)

To live in a world with more sharing
You'll just have to do more giving (hey)
You want the earth filled with joy, joyful noise (joyful noise and open your heart)
And start start singing (start singing), oo-ooh
Make this world a better place
Beginning with you

Oh the world is you and the world is me
And it will be what we make it
Let′s fill it up with so much love
There won't be room enough to take it

If you want a world that′s more loving
Then you've got to love somebody
Be in a world that's more caring (more caring)
Then reach out and help somebody
You′ll make the world a better place
For you, all for you


To live in a world with more sharing (yeah, yeah)
You′ll just have to do more giving
If you want the earth filled with joyful noise (filled with joy, joyful)
Open your heart (joyful noise, singing, oo-ooh)
This world a better place
Beginning with you (beginning with you)

If you want a world that's more loving
(Yeah) You′ve got to love somebody (love somebody, yeah)
Be in a world that's more caring (more caring)
Then reach out and help somebody (help somebody, my Lord)
You′ll make the world a better place (world a better place)
Beginning with you (beginning with you)
Beginning with you!
