Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

I like that song

About this wonderful world

It's got a sunny point of view

And sometimes I feel it's true

At least for a few of us

I like that world

It makes a wonderful song

But there's a darker point of view

That's sadly just as true

For so many among us

Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak

In the strongest man there's a child so weak

In the whole wide world there's no magic place

So you might as well rise put on your bravest face

Put on your bravest face

I like that show

Where they solve all the murders

An heroic point of view

It's got justice and vengeance too

At least so the story goes

I like that story

Makes a satisfying case

But theres a messy point of view

That's sadly just as true

For so many among us (2X)

In softest voice threes an acid tongue

In the oldest eyes theres a soul so young

In the shakiest will there's a core of steel

On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel

In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak

In the strongest man there's a child so weak

In the whole wide world there's no magic place

So you might as well rise put on your bravest face

Put on your bravest face

In softest voice threes an acid tongue...

Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

In softest voice threes an acid tongue

In the oldest eyes theres a soul so young

In the shakiest will theres a core of steel

On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel

In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak

In the strongest man there's a child so weak

In the whole wide world there's no magical place

So you might as well rise put on your bravest face

Oh you might as well rise put on your bravest face

Put on your bravest face (3X)
