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 there And 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 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 You can't see it, you can't see it Even though it's a 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 You can't see it, you can't see it Even though it's a cruel world
