[Verse 1]
I dedicate my life
To something richer
And all the things that come
'Cuz that's no price at all
And I know you'll be there
And I want you to know I care because
[Chorus]
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
You can't see it, you can't see it even though
It's a cruel world
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
You can't see it, you can't see it even though
It's a cruel world
[Bridge]
Cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
[Chorus]
Keep your head up, hold your head up even though
It's a cruel world (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
[Outro]
Cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
