A World Around You

A World Around You is a song from the eighth season composed by Ed Welch and Robert Hartshorne. A second music video was later made using CGI footage as part of Thomas Around the World.

Lyrics
Have a look about you, take in what you see

There's a world around you wherever you may be

Favourite names and places everywhere you go

Sodor is our island, the only home we know

Out of Henry's Tunnel or climbing Gordon's Hill

Past the castle ruins toward the watermill

We'll whistle past the lighthouse, gleaming red and white

We'll leave the sheds at Tidmouth, then come back home at night

Take a look about you, enjoy the world you see

Be it town or country, there's such variety

Old familiar faces everywhere you go

Sodor is our island, the only home we know

Doo be doo be do bah, doo be doo be do bah

Doo be doo be do bah, doo be doo be do bah

Doo be doo be do bah, doo be doo be do bah

Have a look about you, take in what you see

There's a world around you wherever you may be

Favourite names and places everywhere you go

Sodor is our island, the only home we know

Across the old steel bridge or past the church we'll go

Up beyond the windmill or ploughing through the snow

On towards the castle, and past the sea so blue

Wherever you are going, here's what you should do

Have a look about you, take in what you see

There's a world around you wherever you may be

Favourite names and places everywhere you go

Sodor is our island, the only home we know

Doo be doo be do bah

Doo be doo be do bah

Doo be doo be do bah

Take a look about you, enjoy the world you see

Be it town or country, there's such variety

Old familiar faces everywhere you go

Sodor is our island, the only home we know

Doo be doo be do bah, doo be doo be do bah

Doo be doo be do bah, doo be doo be do bah

Doo be doo be do bah, doo be doo be do bah
