Read the lyrics of the song "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong and reflect how the world was created by the elements and principles of Arts.
"What A Wonderful World"
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
"I love you"
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll never know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yeah

Answer:
“I See Trees of Green, Red Roses too”
The first line tells us that there is always a chance for improvement and growth. It immediately shows that the song will be focusing on the happier side of life instead of its pain and turmoil.
“The Bright Blessed Day, the Dark Sacred Night”
The choice of these words is careful: blessed and sacred add holiness to this world that becomes a safe surrounding, where people are comforted and looked after.
“The Colours of the Rainbow, so Pretty in the Sky”
A rainbow shows that the storm is over and that clearer, easier times are ahead. It is a sign of hope. In religious views, the rainbow is the promise from God to his people that he will never drown them all again
“I see friends shakin’ hands, sayin’ “How do you do?”/They’re really saying “I love you”
When people meet and greet each other with happy hearts, they may mean they love each other. The world really underlines the fact that what the singer sees should not be only a dream.
“I hear babies cryin’, I watch them grow They’ll learn much more, than I’ll ever know”.
Babies are symbols for the next generation, for hope. Over time, more knowledge is acquired and passed down to younger generations and by the time children reach Satchmo‘s age, they will have had the opportunity to learn much more than us Armstrong himself stated in the late 1960s that he recalled “three generations” of children he watched growing up in his own Corona/Queens, NY neighborhood, part of his own “life reservoir” that he brought to the song. In addition, as a black man, he had suffered over decades during segregation and the civil rights struggle
The final tense is changed into future to underline these high hopes for the next generation
Hope it helped you
Have a good day
