Lyrics
Cold Cruel World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A high school girl in Southern
California loses her life working
in a fast food restaurant
and all the store lost was a
hundred dollars
Sha la la la la la
While a six-year-old in Cleveland
rides his bike without training wheels
His two front teeth missing
Smiles all the way to show his
mother at the soccer fields
Sha la la la la la
CHORUS:
Under the very same sky
At the very same time
Somebody's laughing
Somebody's crying
Somebody's living
And somebody's dying
I'm just a guy who's
in love with a girl
It's a beautiful day
in the cold cruel world
A young mother in Dallas, Texas
who doesn't have long to live
makes a video for each of her
children's 16th birthday
It's the present that she'll give
Sha la la la la la
While a couple in Davidson County
after a bitter separation
reconcile and renew their vows
in front of the church's congregation
Sha la la la la la
Under the very same sky
At the very same time
Somebody's laughing
Somebody's crying
Somebody's living
And somebody's dying
I'm just a guy who's
in love with a girl
It's a beautiful day
Tomorrow Wall Street's
gonna rise or it will fall
The earth will keep on
spinning 'round like
some big old crystal ball
And we keep pretending like
We really understand
While the children's choir
keeps singing
"He's got the whole world in
His hands"
CHORUS
Under the very same sky
At the very same time
Somebody's laughing
Somebody's crying
Somebody's living
And somebody's dying
I'm just a guy who's
in love with a girl
It's a beautiful day
in the cold cruel world
