This song is somewhat of a humanist anthem. Lyrically, it reflects on the beauty of life. The arrangement is heavily inspired by The Beatles’ Abbey Road with a flair of popular country music.
lyrics
Look up, and see the world Around you, what a lovely thing. Everything is passing us by so quickly, Even when it feels like forever. Sometimes you stop and smell the roses. Specially, when everyone is ignoring this. Such bliss, as the sun kisses the ocean. Flowers bloom, in blind devotion. Life is beautiful, just look at it all. Our world is far from perfect, But perfection isn’t fun. Life is beautiful, just look at it all. Let’s look things in new lenses. My life seems so simple, But there is a layer of complexity. On occasion, there is some good Underneath, such a rotten exterior Sometimes you stop and smell the roses. Specially, when everyone is ignoring this. Such bliss, as the sun kisses the ocean. Flowers bloom, in blind devotion. Life is beautiful, just look at it all. Our world is far from perfect, But perfection isn’t fun. Life is beautiful, just look at it all. Let’s look things in new lenses. And I am well aware there are flaws in my statements, But you can’t deny, that the world we live in is amazing. So take it all in with its ends and its openings, And maybe you’ll see The light where our shadows are cast from in the sun. Life is beautiful, just look at it all. Our world is far from perfect, But perfection isn’t fun. Life is beautiful, just look at it all. Let’s look things in new lenses. La, La, La, La, La, La, La,………….
