You don't know about my flame I've been burning so long You don't know about my pain I was hurting alone It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world I'm not going to be here forever Everyday I'm getting better My mental health was under pressure I was down but now I get up People change like the weather They from good to a sinner From a victim to a winner Let the lord lift your head up These are the cards I was dealt I feel good I walked here through hell I'm ok I'm rising up If my backs against the wall Does it mean I'm stuck It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world Nature controls the weather We're all birds of feather The fact nobody gets out alive Find the love keep your head up They say dreams hard to measure While most get pain Some get pleasure Most get debt get no treasure Let the lord lift your head up You don't know about my flame I've been burning so long You don't know about my pain I was hurting alone Lost now I'm found Home and i'm bound In while your out What goes up comes down It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world It's a cruel world
