You got to wash with the crocodile in the river
You got to swim with the sharks in the sea
You got to live with the crooked politician
Trust those things that you can never see

Ayeye yeye ayeye yeye, ayeye yeye ayeye

You got to trust your lover when you go away
Keep on believing tomorrow brings a better day
Sometimes you smile while you're crying inside
Just once you'll turn away, while the truth be shining bright

Ayeye yeye ayeye yeye, ayeye yeye ayeye

'Cause it's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world
Every day you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
Oh it's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world
Everyday you wake up I will have to say goodbye
I say goodbye ( It's your world so live in it )
I will say goodbye ( It's your world so live in it )

Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you
I want you to know you won't escape loneliness
Maybe you lose hope too

Ayeye yeye ayeye yeye, ayeye yeye ayeye

'Cause it's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world
Everyday you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
Oh it's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
I say goodbye  ( It's your world so live in it )
I say goodbye ( It's your world so live in it )
I say goodbye

When I hold your small body close to mine
You know I feel weak and strong at the same time
So few years to give you wings to fly
Show you stars to guide your ship by

It's your world so live in it ( It's your world so live in it )
It's your world so live in it ( It's your world so live in it )
It's your world so live in it ( It's your world so live in it )
It's your world so live in it ( It's your world so live in it )
It's your world so live in it ( It's your world so live in it )
It's your world so live in it ( It's your world so live in it )
It's your world so live in it ( It's your world so live in it )
It's your world so live in it ( It's your world so live in it )
