(SOLO IN)
The world seems evil to you sometimes dear
Don't let it get you down, just try to persevere
The devil lies to you most every day
Erase his ugly frown, eliminate the fear.

It's a hard life.
But you can make it.
Don't have to fake it if you
Take it in your stride.

Be nice to animals and also people kind
We're all just protoplasm, magically entwined
Our universe is theirs, we share it with them all
The riches of existence yours alone to find.

It's a hard life.
But you can make it.
Don't have to fake it
Just take it in your stride.

Some bullies have to hurt to pretend what they are
They want to seem someone of prominence and power
The judgement that will come will vanish all their names
They may win for a while, but none of them get far.

It's a hard life.
But you can make it.
Don't have to fake it
Just take it in your stride. (SOLO. Repeat 2.)

It's a hard life.
But you can make it.
Don't have to fake it
Just take it in your stride. (SOLO OUT)
