LYRICS

Whenever I think of the state of the world these days 
I have to hold my head in shame 
‘Cause we can’t keep passing the blame 
We all have to take our share 
Of the responsibility 
It’s not just them, it’s not just you and me 
It’s everybody 
The whole of humanity 
We’ve all gotta take a step back 
Just take a look at what we’ve created 
Take a second to think about what you could do 
To make things better 
Just one little gesture 
One selfless act is all it would take 
And if we all play our part 
It’ll snowball into a massive change 
And that snowball will grow into an avalanche 
The people won’t be able to escape 
They’ll fail to outrun the need to do good 
And that need will become a craze 
And we’ll be forced to change our ways 
‘Cause you all know we can’t resist the need 
To follow the latest fashion 

The world is a pretty place if we let it be 
The pretty place it was meant to be 
A pretty place for you and me 
The world is a pretty place if we let it be 
The pretty place it was meant to be 
A pretty place for you and me 

But it’s looking pretty ugly right now 
Everybody just out for themselves 
But the need to be driven by greed was started 
Way back in history 
The desire to have more and more is what became the snowball 
Which soon became an avalanche 
Unescapable, do you see my point 
It’s monkey see, monkey do so let’s do some good 
Make a change 
Rearrange your way of thinking 
I see what you’re thinking 
“Does this mean I’ve gotta give up all of my money and my toys?” 
Not at all, just make a little noise 
For all the future little girls and boys 
Now let’s get this snowball rolling, one good deed a day 
Is all it’ll take 
Just imagine if everybody in the whole of the world 
Caught on to this craze 
Wouldn’t that be great? 
Wouldn’t that be great? 

The world is a pretty place if we let it be 
The pretty place it was meant to be 
A pretty place for you and me 
The world is a pretty place if we

More about The Turtle Project

`The Turtle Project` started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
