So welcome to the world


Got so much I can tell you, baby

So many lessons to learn


Let me tell you what I've heard




Because people can be cruel


And the world is full of rules


That's when you need to call me

When the struggle gets you down


When there's no one else around


That's when you need to call me




Oh you'll be strong, you'll hold on


You will get through it

And when you can't do it


I'll make you better than that


Don't be scared, sing your song

Bring your soul to it


And when you're through with it


I'll know you're better than that




I still believe


That this world is a good place, baby

For every vulture and thief


Kindness in every stranger




When it's slipping through your hands


When you do not understand


That's when you need to call me

When you cannot carry on


When you feel like hope is gone


That's when you can call me




Oh you'll be strong, you'll hold on


You will get through it

And when you can't do it


I'll make you better than that


Don't be scared, sing your song

Bring your soul to it

And when you're through with it


I'll know you're better than that




Welcome to the world

Got so much I can tell you, baby

So many lessons to learn


Let me tell you what I've heard




The road is long, so just hang on

It's gonna be alright

I'll make you better than that


The road is long, so keep your faith

And when your zero has come

It's gonna be alright




And you'll be judged

on who you love,

the color of your skin




The road is long, just hang on

It's gonna be alright




Oh you'll be strong, you'll hold on

You will get through it

And when you can't do it


I'll make you better than that

Don't be scared, sing your song

Bring your soul to it

And when you're through with it


I'll know you're better than that



Oh you'll be strong, you'll hold on

You will get through it

And when you can't do it

I'll make you better than that



Don't be scared, sing your song

Bring your soul to it

And when you're through with it

I'll know you're better than that
