The world is big and often wrong But truth is bigger and twice as strong Sometimes ain't pretty, sometimes ain't nice But hold your ground, dry your eyes Here take my word, take my life Don't cry They say they love you when juices flowing When money's gone they must be going Sometimes they pray coming from a friend But you'll be ready if it happens again You take my word, take my life Don't cry Don't cry when they wanna sell ya, don't cry when they wanna fight Don't cry when they don't believe ya and you know you're right Don't cry when they wanna paint you into a corner of their design It's your innocent blood they want, it's your innocent mind Don't cry when they wanna sell ya, don't cry when they wanna fight Don't cry when they don't believe ya when you know you're right Don't cry when they wanna paint you into a corner of their design It's your innocent blood they want, it's your innocent, innocent mind Well the world is bigger and often wrong But your heart is bigger and twice as strong Sometimes a mystery, sometimes it's blind It won't deceive you, it doesn't lie Here take my word, take my life Don't cry Here take my word, here take my life Don't cry Here take my word, take my life Don't cry
