Just because you swing a different way Doesn't mean that we're like night and day There's a place for you and a hope for me The understanding that can set us free
And every now and then you hear them say There's no such thing as society It's an evil thing they try to make you believe That human nature's ruled by fear and greed
And just because you swing a different way Doesn't mean that we're like night and day So, cast your mind across the bare facts, people The cost of living is depression and a poll tax
Do you wanna build (do you wanna build) Gonna build springtime for the world (springtime for the world) Mmmm do you wanna build (do you wanna build) Gonna build springtime for the world
If the ideas justify the ends I'd only pledge myself to higher things To be consumed by life's frustration The day they'll trust their own imagination
And hope lies in the hearts of the young Who seek happiness and freedom Whoever can define a friend or foe The old traditions and the borders go
And just because you swing a different way Doesn't mean that we're like night and day So many gods I don't know where to turn It seems the more you lose the more you earn
Do? Do you wanna build (do you wanna build) Springtime for the world (springtime for the world) Mmmm hmm do you wanna build (do you wanna build) Springtime for the world
(Higher) Gonna take ya (Higher) Gonna take ya (Higher) (High) Ummm aahhh (do you wanna build) Ganna build springtime for the world (springtime for the world) Hey! High Do you wanna build (do you wanna build) Gonna build springtime for the world
Springtime for the world Springtime for the world Do you wanna build Springtime for the world Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? High
