It also promoted publishing books and a lot more of writing works. Because of this movement there was an increase on employment and education. Jazz was one of the many results of the Harlem Renaissance. Jazz as a result influenced all the world.

1) QUOTE:

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not live.

LYRICS

I see trees of green…….. red roses too 
I see em bloom….. for me and for you 
And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world. 

I see skies of blue….. clouds of white 
Bright blessed days….dark sacred nights 
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world. 

The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky 

MEANING: 

The world is full of wonderful things everywhere. We need to appreciate what nature and God gives to us. Although we don’t realize nature is always around us and that is what makes the world so wonderful. Nature gives us the meaning of life and we don’t understand life until we pay attention to nature. We can be impressed by how amazing our environment is and what it can give to us. 

 

2) Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.  Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

LYRICS: 

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won’t believe me
And it’s so, it’s so sad to think that she doesn’t see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay?
I say

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl, you’re amazing
Just the way you are

MEANING: 

Everyone is unique and different on every aspect of life. We should not try to imitate or try to be like somebody else because we are amazing just the way you are. We should respect everyone beliefs, opinions, actions, and more because we are not the same. We should let everyone be who they truly are and respect them.
