From the recording This is My World 2023
“Look at the World” is a reflective and philosophical song that invites listeners to pause and truly observe the world around them. Through vivid imagery of nature, humanity, and the passage of time, the lyrics explore cycles of life and loss, creation and decay, peace and conflict. The song asks searching questions about truth, perception, and what we can learn from our surroundings. Ultimately, “Look at the World” reminds us that beneath all change and uncertainty, there is a guiding hand—and that faith and honest reflection can help us see the deeper meaning in everything we witness.
Lyrics
Look at the world what do you see things being born and ceasing to be
Leaves on the tree Leaves on the ground something was lost something is found
Here there is life and there is decay the seed of tomorrow dust of today
A land of stone a land of green the product of man and that of machine
Look around what do you see is it everything you want it would be
A beast in the wild a beast in a cage a summer of calm a winter of rage
When there are few when there is more when there is peace when there is war
The story of man becoming unfurled the overall plan there is for the world
The lessons of time concealed in the sand the value of faith when we don’t understand
Look around what do you see is it everything you want it would be
What do you see when you open your eyes is it the truth or a disguise
What did you learn from the world today what can you tell me what can you say
Up in the sky a different thing the sun and the moon not changing a thing
Look at the world through all the lies only one G-d guiding our lives
Look around what do you see is it everything you want it would be
Look around what do you see is it everything you want it would be
