lyrics

WHERE IN THE WORLD DOES THE WHOLE WORLD COME FROM?

Spoken: There is a legend from China that the great philosopher Chuang Tzu, fell asleep and had a dream that he was a butterfly. And when he awoke, he could no longer be certain whether he was Chuang Tzu dreaming he was a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming he was Chuang Tzu...

Where in the world does the whole world come from?
Where does the whole world go?
Deep in the sleep of an old man dreaming
Down by the greenwoodsidee-oh

Hush little baby, keep on sleeping
Dream til your dreams come true
If somebody kills the butterfly,
Who’s gonna wake Chuang Tzu?
Who’s gonna wake Chuang Tzu?

Mistress Mary, like a fairy
How does your garden grow?
Under the eyes of a foreign army
Down by the greenwoodsidee-oh

Hush little baby, keep on sleeping
Dream til your dreams come true
If somebody kills the butterfly,
Who’s gonna wake Chuang Tzu?
Who’s gonna wake Chuang Tzu?

After the war when the whole world woke up,
Where did the soldiers go?
Some went to bed and the rest went crazy
Down by the greenwoodsidee-oh

Hush little baby, keep on sleeping
Dream til your dreams come true
If somebody kills the butterfly,
Who’s gonna wake Chuang Tzu?
Who’s gonna wake Chuang Tzu?

Where in the world does the whole world come from?
Where does the whole world go?
Deep in the sleep of an old man dreaming
Down by the greenwoodsidee-oh

Deep in the sleep of an old man dreaming
Down by the greenwoodsidee-oh
