You say you wanna start something new
And it’s breakin’ my heart you’re leavin’
Baby, I’m greavin’

I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile,girl
Oh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world
I’ll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I’ve seen a lot of what the world can do
And it’s breaking my heart in two
Cos’ I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don’t be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there’s a lot of bad everywhere

Oh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile,girl

And it’s breaking my heart in two
Cos’ I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don’t be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then lot of things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile,girl

Goodbye to love again
I’ve seen the signs again
For love has never lived
Here long before
I’m on my own again
I’m all alone again
For love has never stayed
And closed the door

Sometimes I wake up in the night
With no one beside me
I turn the radio on
Just for company
Sometimes I wake up in the night
I’ve found that I’ve been crying, crying
Oh Lord in my sleep again

Goodbye to love again
Until next time again yeah
I’ll just keep going on, going on, going on, oh oh oh oh

Goodbye to love again
Until next time again
I’ll just keep going on
As I’ve done before
Be on my own again
Be all alone again
Until love comes to stay
And close the door

Sometimes I wake up in the night
With no one beside me
I turn the radio on
Just for company
Sometimes I wake up in the night
I’ve found that I’ve been crying, crying
Oh Lord in my sleep again

Goodbye to love again
Until next time again yeah
I’ll just keep going on, going on, going on, oh oh oh oh
Until next time again, time again, time again yeah

I don’t need nobody to
Tell me what I’m going through
Seen it time and time before
The story of my life

Always
Beating my head against the wall
Will she ever come or not at all
So many pictures in my mind
Making it hard to choose my kind

Well ain’t it mysterious the two of us
We just can’t see
Ain’t it ridiculous the both of us
We just can’t be oh no
Hey, oh no, oh oh oh

Same old story’s been told before
Same old conclusions they keep knocking at my door
Same old story’s been told before
Same old conclusions they keep knocking at my door

I know you’re out there somewhere
Searching to find someone who cares
So many pictures in your mind
Making it hard to choose your kind

Well ain’t it mysterious the two of us
We just can’t see
Ain’t it ridiculous the both of us
We just can’t be oh no
Hey, oh no, oh oh oh

Oh so lonely, lonely

Same old story’s been told before
Same old conclusion they keep knocking at my door
Same old story yeah
Same old story yeah
You’re just confusing my mind
Same old story
You’re just confusing my mind
Same old story

In your struggle for love
Hate struck you down
But in so many hearts
You’re still around
You freed so many souls
From the depths of despair
But we will never forget
The burdens you had to bare

Oh Marcus we love you
You never shy from the things you had to do
Strength and courage pulled many through yeah
Oh boy
Oh Marcus we love you
You never shy from the things you had to do
Strength and courage pulled many through yeah
Oh boy

Paving a different way
Was the order of the day
And I’m so glad to say
Your teachings are here to stay
The wicked cast you aside

But your missions have never died
It lives on and on and on

Oh Marcus we love you
You never shy from the things you had to do
Strength and courage pulled many through yeah
Oh boy

You can’t stop the [?] Marc, oh no
You achieved the best of a bad situation
Gave hope to the people of the nation
Yes you did
You achieved the best of a bad situation
Gave hope to the people of the nation
Yes you did, yes you did

Scattered all over the place, living in disgrace
The people have lost their ways
Their minds have gone astray
Sheer hysteria
Told us look to Africa
To be our rightful home again

Oh Marcus we love you
You never shy from the things you had to do
Strength and courage pulled many through yeah
Oh boy
Oh Marcus we love you
You never shy from the things you had to do
Strength and courage pulled many through yeah
Oh boy

Look to Africa
Boy, Marc, you do oo

Waking up to a dry land
With empty glasses in their hands
To the bone I see their call
A fate for one and all

Watch relief fall from the sky
Still resources running dry

Tell me, how can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who’s gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who’s gonna take the blame

I watched the children cry
No tears within their eyes
Then I ask the reason why
Life seems to be on the slide

Electing one with no feelings
Who’s gonna pay for their tomorrow

Tell me, how can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who’s gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who’s gonna take the blame

That’s what I’d like to know
Cos it’s been so long
And it seems to me to be so wrong

Life it’s like a ball against the wall
A ball against the wall
If you throw love against the wall
It comes back to you
And if you throw hate against the wall
It’s gonna follow you
So what we gonna do to ease the pain
(ease the pain)
(ease the pain)

When I was a boy
I never knew much joy
I only spoke when I was told to speak
To sit up straight and be well behaved
And to eat when I was told to eat
As I grew up I got to realize in order to survive
You’ve got to shout real loud and fight real hard
So you can stay alive

It ain’t easy
Lord it ain’t easy
Living in the world today
Living in the world today

When I reached my teens
I was on the scene
Going raving and getting high
And though I hated the world
But I loved my girl and for my best friend I would die
Now I am a man I get to understand
Some life philosophy
You’ve got to take what you get from life today
‘Cause tomorrow may never be

It ain’t easy
Lord it ain’t easy
Living in the world today
Living in the world today

Now the years have passed
And the time is moving faster every day
I take the good with the bad
And dance with the sad
As I move along the way
Been in love nothing lost
And now I stand and watch our children play
And when they ask why does that man look so sad
I just turn to them and say

It ain’t easy
Lord it ain’t easy
Living in the world today
Living in the world today [x3]

Can’t you see living ain’t easy
Can’t you see life ain’t easy
Today today today
