What a Wonderful World

What a Wonderful World

By: Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and for you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights
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 passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you"

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

FOOTNOTE: My main focus of interest in education the past decade has been to create an interdisciplinary environment in the classroom by way of America's National Parks, Monuments, Memorials, and Historic Sites. My favorite quote about the National Park Service, which runs the whole show, is from Horace Albright (one of its founding fathers):

The service thus established shall promote and regulate the use of the Federal areas known as national parks, monuments, and reservations (historic sites) hereinafter specified by such means and measures as conform to the fundamental purpose of the said parks, monuments, and reservations (historic sites, memorials, parks), which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therin, and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.
