song#2 (or rather: lyric #368!) - chorus

I wrote two choruses because I was not happy with my first version. My first version:

the sun is out, the world is open to us [clumsy to sing, stress on the "to"]
see new things, let us travel far and wide [-2 syllables/notes]
why should we want to stay, this is not for the likes of us [clumsy to sing - tongue twister]       
do have some faith, I'm by your side [-1 syllable/note, might alternatively read "Baby, have some..."]

Although this version seemed to fit rather well it wouldn't go smoothly with the tune, so I wrote another:

the sun is out, the whole wide world is calling
to see new things we have to go our own way [-1, might be a little clumsy to sing]
nothing holds us back, and nothing that could make us stay
let's leave it all behind and run away [+1 syllable/note; no problem, though]

Much better. The second line might need a little rehearsing (compared to the tune there will have to be a little rest before "our").
