Wild World

(album: Souvenir - 2017)

I don't know about you
But I like to tell the truth
But the truth seems to change every Tuesday

When I watch the news
Man, it just gives me the blues
No one listens, just on a mission to hear their own voice

It's a wild world
We're all trying to find our place in it
It's a wild world
And no one seems to understand it
It's a wild world
But there ain't no way I'm gonna quit it
Love is all we've got to give away

Some folks ain't got a dollar to their name
Others got their own jet planes
We've all got the same blood running through our veins

Whether or not you pray
Black or white, straight or gay
You still deserve the love of your neighbor

It's a wild world
We're all trying to find our place in it
It's a wild world
And no one seems to understand it
It's a wild world
But there ain't no way I'm gonna quit it
Love is all we've got to give away

Try a little tenderness
Maybe some benefit of the doubt
Another person's point of view
Try to listen not to shout
Hold your opinions loosely
Maybe you're not always right
Show a little mercy
And hold on to love real tight

It's a wild world
We're all trying to find our place in it
It's a wild world
And no one seems to understand it
It's a wild world
But there ain't no way I'm gonna quit it
Love is all we've got to give away
Love is all I've got to give away
Love is all we've got to give away
