Chaka Khan - Watching The World lyrics

Rockets launch us to outer space
Far away from this human wasteland
We're bringing heaven to other worlds
Abandoning the home fires of our birth
There are fools who believe we
Can't live here as one
There are wise men who say
It still can be done

I'm watching the world
I'm watching the changes in power
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future
Or just standing still?

We will harvest the fields of wheat
For a promise of food to eat
Forging plows to make swords for war
We can stop this fighting and open the door
Only fools could believe we can't
Live here as one
Who's to say it cannot be done?

I'm watching the world
I'm watching the changes of power
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future
Or just standing still?
Who is watching this world?
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future
Or just standing still?

Watching the world
Only fools would believe we can't
Live here as one
Who's to say it cannot be done?

Watching the world
I'm watching the changes of power
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future
Or just standing still?
(Just standing still)

Watching the world
Who's changing the balance of power?
I am watching the world
Are we building a future
Or just standing still?
(Just standing still) watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
We are watching the world
We are building a future
We're not standing still
Oh, I am watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
We're building a future, no
We are watching the world
We are changing the balance of power
We are watching this world
We are building a future
We're not standing still watching the world
Watching the world watching the world
We're watching the world watching the world
Watching the world watching the world
Oh! We are watching the world
Watching the world
