Up with the sun on a wonderful morning
Radio playing
Coffee is fine
Up on a tree top
A robin sings
High in the skies, the swallow
(Swallow, swallow)
We follow the road to the sea and the sunshine
Waving hello as we go on our way
Children are wearing buttercup chains
Singing along as they follow
(Follow, follow)
I'm a child of the world, this beautiful world
And I love everything I see
Hey, fill your heart with joy
And love will make you happy
I'm a child of the world, this beautiful world
And I love everything I see
Hey, fill your heart with joy
And love will make you happy
(Happy, happy)
Back on the road in the cool of the evening
Curtains of twilight
Closing on me
Goodnight to the sun as it dies away
To rise at the break of dawning
(Dawning, dawning)
Under the starlight I fall into dreamland
Kissed by the moon in my hush of our world
Dream of a girly who soon will be
A runaway child in the morning
(Morning, morning)
I'm a child of the world, this beautiful world
And I love everything I see
Hey, fill your heart with joy
And love will make you happy
I'm a child of the world, this beautiful world
And I love everything I see
Hey, fill your heart with joy
And love will make you happy
(Happy, happy)
I'm a child of the world, this beautiful world
And I love everything I see
Hey, fill your heart with joy
And love will make you happy
