[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
