Lyrics:
Got a package full of Wishes
A Time machine, a Magic Wand
A Globe made out of Gold
No Instructions or Commandments
Laws of Gravity or
Indecisions to uphold
Printed on the box I see
A.C.M.E.'s Build-a-World-to-be
Take a chance - Grab a piece
Help me to believe it
What kind of world do you want?
Think Anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now...

[@HatTheFatCat]

"there's more to this than love." I first thought it was courage, then I thought it was wisdom. After 12+ years of listening to this, I think it's sacrifice. Sacrifice is the most intense, truest form of love, and it makes the world go 'round.

[@nagrain]

I don’t think anything can move the world without love. The rest is just a crossword puzzle to figure out everything is just out of place, only thing that ties the human spirit is love.

[@BettyBoo389]

I wish Five for Fighting was x10 more popular. They are the most inspiring band I know. Their songs send such a message. No matter what, they'll always be my favorite!

[@Kim_jeju]

It became a reality. I'm listening to this song in Korea on the other side of the world 2022.

[@lairdferguson821]

Five For Fighting is just one guy...What an amazing musician!

[@billycooper8729]

God bless this man

[@Oferdrincere]

to be fair they have been played in over 350 movies and tv shows.

[@mprivera77]

"Every man own his own hand. Can you dig it, baby?" What a powerful song!!!

[@allysonchen4286]

I always sing tht part

[@kerchelle95]

I always thought that his voice is absolutely beautiful ♥️

[@IamSooConstipated]

This song floored me. Dare I say it: this is more moving, beautiful and inspiring than anything the Beatles wrote. Can’t listen to it without tearing up and wanting to be the best version of myself. That’s how we make the world a better place: we all commit to being the best version of ourselves, we don’t give in to fear of rejection, we present our true selves to the world and know that it’s enough. Thank you for writing this you genius. Love you

[@allysonchen4286]

I always sing that one part "Let every man own his own hand"

[@notapplicableproductions6504]

This is probably the most underrated song in the world.

[@marcisikoff]

I'd say you vastly underrate the Beatles lyrics. Hey I do love this song and thinks it's a very cool composition but one of my favorite Lennon lines from Strawberry Fields is about him thinking he's either a genius or an idiot for having this own thoughts in his head: No one I think is in my tree I mean it must be high or low That is you can't, you know, tune in But it's all right That is I think it's not too bad A lot of Beatle's songs (post mop top era) are filled with deep thoughts like this.

[@meono5511]

for real man and I'm a big Beatles fan. this guy is seriously underrated singer songwriter

[@stephentemple5617]

Re-watching the TV show Jericho the song it brought me here underrated song underrated show

[@steamyboy69]

His songs make you contemplate on your life lol, it's pretty heavy deep stuff

[@DottyDiggler]

+steamyboy69 Oh, the little girl looking up at the end just gets me every time!!! Makes me feel like I'm in second grade again!

[@DottyDiggler]

+Derek Storch So deep. Existential, truly.

[@robertwhite2307]

[@danielluster732]

I want a perfect world with no drugs, no pollution, no wars, no starvation, no disease, no poverty, and everyone can just get along like good friends should. :-)

[@mayorivy4094]

Yes!

[@danielluster732]

I couldn't agree with you more, my friend. =)

[@danielluster732]

I can't agree with you even more. B-)

[@danielluster732]

Okay! :-)

[@jkolevas]

Why no drugs? be boring and long drawn out, and No religion.

[@markwatson4852]

I lost my 13 year old daughter 2 years ago. This song goes some way to giving me hope for her twin sister.

I know I’m four years late but it’s gonna be ok man

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@DRMICHELLEROSALIEELAUNO]

Feel happy now after hearing this song...such a masterpiece...My favorite band indeed...

[@SweetLittleSoul]

I wish I could give your comment 1000 likes. But it won't let me. I've love this song from the first time I heard. I get goosebumps.

[@ilikethisand]

Songs like this should be the top songs today. I know this is older and it once was one of the top songs, but wtf happened? Pop music today is such trash. And I love all types of music.

[@alwx27]

ilikethisand if you think it was trash four years ago listen to the music now

[@salkurpaska5106]

He thought then He wrote

[@speedracerjeff]

Fast forward to 2022….. Music has gotten much worse lol.

[@jeanninerobinson522]

Listen, really listen then get out and vote, Nov 8/22.

[@tiffanyzette7308]

This is my song of a day. I'm trying to achieve something that my family never achieved and that they're quite skeptical about my objective and not believing in me. I know what I want. I will impress myself and them! History starts now!!

[@gersykumendong7491]

Tiffany Zette you go dear!! I did it. 5 years ago. most worth it

[@robertwhite6203]

Tiffany Zette . I'd say go for it & don,t worry what others think . Sorry to say the family sounds so negative . They sound like they was trying to bring you down . If was Me I wouldn't. Worry what others think you've got this ! Just believe in your self !& go for it !

[@femkevanwageningen6068]

Tiffany Zette how are you doing? How is you achieve it going?

[@grubeci]

Try while you're still mitochondrial superb and backed and have angels and not curses or sin or baggage and so on...before you're numb and before...anyway..carry on....it's a good run.

[@ASMR_Orangely]

Such a masterpiece! ❤️❤️❤️

[@canadianradiotvguy1299]

Who’s listening during quarantine in 2020?

[@FairyGodMom7]

I am! This is my favorite FFF song, hands down

[@andyhayes7756]

All i can think is why are there 192 dislikes? like wtf? why? Can they not hear the message? Honestly!

[@louiekim824]

This isn’t the kind of world I want

[@PersonalGrowthNow]

🖐🏻

[@misterbrother3299]

@@louiekim824 I just want a world where morons aren't constantly obsessing with relating to others on listening to the same song in the same year, and other retarded shit like that. I want a world where people are self-accountable, think and live for themselves, and nobody cares about "trending" or being the same as everyone else.

[@benv7933]

Seriously one of my favorite singers!! Keep making incredible music!! I love it because musically it's phenomenal but the songs resonate personally on so many levels for so many people.

[@mikewall449]

This is such a beautiful song. The lyrics has such a deep meaning

[@benfischer5131]

It definitely is an uplifting song on those days you question what is going on in life. Very good song.

[@storybrooke7554]

Whose still listening in 2019?

[@cynvincent5597]

In 2020.

[@N34RT]

A truly beautiful and moving song - in lyrics and musical composition! One of my all-time favorites!

[@gryseelstd]

I got to see five for fighting in concert and it was so amazing! We stood right below the stage

[@CindyPDX]

It is April in 2022. April is Autism Awareness month. I have twin boys now 18 yrs old and one diagnosed with Autism on August 13, 2007, a day I will never forget shortly after they turned 4 yrs old. I found this song via a video about a parent's child that has autism, about a year after our son's DX. I have loved this song for over 12 yrs now. This song means so much to so many in so many ways.

[@bookwrm100]

I love five for fighting, they put so much meaning behind their songs. They touch people, they touch me. Their songs make you want to cry sometimes because they touch a nerve. They are so ture. If I could move people with my writing like him, I would be thankful in a million ways

[@tank___]

His voice is so beautiful

[@kevanchong4082]

John Ondrasik! who could have forgotten one of the greatest voices out there ever

[@shawnadeola]

Say it again

[@BBWanna12]

Build a World to Be and make it beautiful. The words to this song give us all something to work towards and attain. One of the best songs ever written...listen to the words.

[@leasophia5390]

2020 and loving it! :) Who's in?

[@danieldelgado2414]

Man… five for fighting songs sound so good but also have such a good story or meaning behind it…..

[@anyhonyardito3510]

So beautiful so deep

[@BillyBlaze4Christ]

The orchestra strings are amazing in this song. Have to say this band makes some pretty moving songs "The Riddle, 100 Years, God Made You, The Best,Devil in a wishing Well, Superman... to name a few.

[@BudiSetiawan-lt1tc]

+BillyBlaze4Christ you know that five for fighting is only him? its his stage name his real name is Vladimir John Ondrasik III

[@BillyBlaze4Christ]

Budi Setiawan Oh wow you're right. Just looked it up. Learn new things everyday lol. Five for Fighting I like his sound. Hes a great piano player. I wonder if he writes his own songs as well.

[@BillyBlaze4Christ]

Budi Setiawan Lol just looked it up seems like he writes his songs too. More power to him

[@lucygriffiths604]

First heard this in the tv series Jericho and I’ve liked it ever since

[@GermanOperaSinger]

One of the best songwriters currently active. His lyrics are thought provoking and meaningful. Artists like 'five for fighting' are almost impossible to come by today.

[@grayghost20000]

This has to be one of the best songs of all time.

[@tinka085]

i just want a world that is safe for my children in every way i can think of.

[@mayorivy4094]

:)

[@melissahdawn]

julie nobbs I thought alot about that sort of world and I concluded that although saftey is desirable, it is struggle and resistance that make it desirable, and so I think this sort of world is perfect. and the safety of our children is only achieved by teaching them how to choose it... "there's more to this than love" .

[@tolkientwins7201]

we should have more music pieces like this.

[@rachelstansbury7964]

I married my husband in 2006 and this was our first dance song. I feel it is just as relevant today as it was at that time. I just love Five for Fighting and the music that they put out to push you to try and help change the world we are in today. It is extremely thought provoking as you listen to the lyrics.

[@BobbyRodden]

Awesome 2:39

[@SY4E1]

On a serious note, this song has such an amazing message. Straight up want this played at my wedding.

[@robertwhite6203]

Adam Wilsey that's a perfect wedding song !& good choice !

[@awsomecfstc4845]

I found this song through the documentary Carrier. It had a great soundtrack to it, and this song just fit in perfectly.

[@ceebee0766]

I wish I could LIKE, LIKE, LIKE, LOVE,LOVE, LOVE, ADORE, ADORE,ADORE this song...just the most awesome piece of music ever...true talent!

[@christopherules]

I went to see this concert last Wednesday with my wife. Amazing. I am so happy that we went. I am a new fan.

[@DavidAR101]

Be careful what you wish for. You may just get all that goes with it. The Lord knows. Best to all. Beautiful song!!!

[@wearuBEN]

John Ondrasik puts more heart, passion, honesty, and thoughtfulness into his songs than any other artist I know.

[@edwoll]

This man is a brilliant artist. He wouldn't know how to write a bad song even if he attempted to write one. I'm a fan for life John!

They played this song at my best friends funeral. He was 14. I cry everytime i hear it.

[@shannonhoffman7856]

I want a world where I am free to be me without judgments nor backlash. And I wish I can hold back my own judgments and ego...but alas...we are still just mere humans. Imperfectly perfect. I should also say that I want love. Love is what this sad little world needs more than ever. Spread it. It’s more contagious than CoronaVirus and can heal the soul of a lost girl who only knew that love hurt.

[@stevebailey3827]

Years ago when my daughter was graduating from middle school, she had an assignment in which she was asked to find a song that would be a "message" to the upcoming class. We searched through videos on TV. When we came across this one, I thought, "I didn't they weren't allowed to write songs this thoughtful anymore!" My daughter chose it hands down.

[@Seinfeldfour]

I don’t think I’ve ever listen to this song without tearing up

[@cowboysfan1964]
