I see trees of green. ______Red roses too. ______I see them bloom ______For me and you ______And I think to myself ______What a wonderful world ______I see skies of blue ______And clouds of white ______The bright blessed day ______The dark sacred night ______And I think to myself ______What a wonderful world ______The colors of the rainbow ______So pretty in the sky ______Are also on the faces ______Of people going by ______I see friends shaking hands ______Saying, "How do you do?" ______They're really saying ______"I love you" ______I hear babies cry ______I watch them grow ______They'll learn much more ______Than I'll never know ______And I think to myself ______What a wonderful world ______Yes, I think to myself ______What a wonderful world ______Oh yeah ______Lupe Fiasco - Kick, Push (Find on Youtube, listen to it and rap it along first, its really good and uses some good ideas like repeating good lines - its all about skateboarding!)
