Life is cruel
Yes I know
I’ve always been down that road
Feeling hurt, feeling pain
My whole life was full of rain
But I stood up
Standing ground
Feeling as if I wasn’t lost, but found
Getting back what was mine
Feeling strong, happy, and fine
Don’t let sadness take you down
You are you, and can be happy now
Love and laugh, reach the skies
Wipe the tears, from your eyes
Darling, you mustn’t cry
Life is our precious gift
But most of us, only drift
We look once and never think
Just how much this world will sink
We hurt each other every day
I’ve barely heard one person say
I love you, just three simple words
Full of power, light, and mighty as swords
It makes me really sad to know
Just how much this world hasn’t grown
Life is about taking risks
A leap of faith and a courageous kick
But most of us hide away
Becoming an ugly dark decay
We can be so much more
Together we can all soar
Above the wicked evil things
All we have to do is think
Deeper, hard and long
We are strong, beautiful human beings
If only we all could see
The amazing things we could be
In the creation of us all
Yes I know
I’ve always been down that road
Feeling hurt, feeling pain
My whole life was full of rain
But I stood up
Standing ground
Feeling as if I wasn’t lost, but found
Getting back what was mine
Feeling strong, happy, and fine
Don’t let sadness take you down
You are you, and can be happy now
Love and laugh, reach the skies
Wipe the tears, from your eyes
Darling, you mustn’t cry
Life is our precious gift
But most of us, only drift
We look once and never think
Just how much this world will sink
We hurt each other every day
I’ve barely heard one person say
I love you, just three simple words
Full of power, light, and mighty as swords
It makes me really sad to know
Just how much this world hasn’t grown
