I dedicate my life to something richer
And all the things that come, ′cause that's no price at all
And I know you′ll be thereAnd I want you to know I care because
Keep your head up, hold your head up
Even though it's a cruel world
Count your blessings, you won't need them
When you′re gone, it′s a cruel world (cruel world)
You can't see it, you can′t see it
Even though it's a cruel world
We′re thrown into this life, no raft, no savior
Masked in self contempt and wrapped in cotton cloth
And it's just like a prayer
The way you showed me you care to be there and because
Keep your head up, hold your head up
Even though it′s a cruel world
Count your blessings, you won't need them
When you're gone, it′s a cruel world (cruel world)
You can′t see it, you can't see it
Even though it′s a cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world

Cruel world
Keep your head up, hold your head up
Even though it's a cruel world
Count your blessings, you won′t need them
When you're gone, it′s a cruel world (cruel world)
You can't see it, you can't see it
Even though it′s a cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
