[Verse 1]
In a perfect world, people everywhere
They could elevate above all fear
In a perfect heart, there'd be perfect love
I'm still looking for it in someone
In a perfect world, everybody knows
That it comes around same as it goes
But the way it is, is the way it is
I'm just tryna find my way through this

[Refrain]
In a perfect world
In a perfect world
In a perfect world
In a perfect world

[Chorus]
It ain't bringing me down, no
(Get it off my shoulder, livin' like I told ya)
It ain't bringing me down
(Get it off my shoulder, livin' like I told ya)

[Verse 2]
On a perfect day at the perfect time
When those beautiful colors combine
I'll be wide awake, I'll be living free
Cause that perfect feeling is inside of me
[Refrain]
In a perfect world
In a perfect world

[Chorus]
It ain't bringing me down, no
(Get it off my shoulder, livin' like I told ya)
It ain't bringing me down
(Get it off my shoulder, livin' like I told ya)

[Post-Chorus]
It ain't bringing me down
It ain't bringing me down
It ain't bringing me down
It ain't bringing me down

[Chorus]
It ain't bringing me down, no
(Get it off my shoulder, livin' like I told ya)
It ain't bringing me down
(Get it off my shoulder, livin' like I told ya)
