Verse 1: In a world full of bottled up pain, hurt and sorrow Six people out of ten won't want to wake up tomorrow When thirty thousand children won't live through tomorrow Malnutritioned and starved, stomachs empty and hollow While the rest of us take every meal, breath and step for granted Forgettin' life was a gift in us a seed was planted We've lost ourselves to this world, with it became enchanted Our hearts were fertile soil but now they're rock harder than granite On this populated planet one man will kill another man To prove what he calls manhood but really it's insanity Can it be that all this pain, hurt and calamity Is the derivative of sin committed by Adam and Eve It gets worse, year after year statistics prove That over 900, 000 kids suffer abuse And that's just in America, land of the free Home of the brave where 34 percent of children can say They have to face life without their biological father So basketball and rap stars become their role models And now they're supposed to choose right over wrong When all their role model talks about is murder in his songs It's a known fact, this world is oh so cold You could search your whole life across the whole entire globe Just remember the prophesy from ages ago "What prophet a man to gain the world yet forfeit his soul"
Chorus: It's a cold cold world Don't lose yourself in it
Verse 2: Ladies and gentlemen, let me just tell you A little somethin' that I think you could benefit from When I was young I would pretend I was dumb and not raise my hand So I didn't come across as an intelligent one 'Cause back then it wasn't cool to be smart If you cared about school somehow that made you a loser at heart It was a lie spread by kids that were to lazy to study I was a fool to believe and let 'em shape me like puddy Ain't even funny, time starts flyin' so fast Somebody kicked it into fifth gear and stepped on the gas Old age will creep up like a snake in the grass Before you know it, you're dead lyin' in a casket Everything we lived for didn't mean a thing 'Cause this cold world is temporary life in vane So I search for what's eternal submerge myself in the truth Lord the only way to stay warm in this cold world is you
Chorus
Bridge: Don't let this world grab a hold of you, take you in and mold you into somethin' you don't want to be 'Cause when it's all said and done then, you can't turn around and change a single thing
