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

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
