You have to wash with the crocodile in the river You have to swim with the sharks in the sea You have to live with the crooked politician Trush those things that you can never see Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye Chorus: It's a cruel crazy beautiful world Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky It's a cruel crazy beautiful world One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye Goodbye -- it's your world so live in it! Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you It kills me to know you won't escape loneliness, Maybe you lose hope too Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye Chorus When I feel your small body close to mine I feel weak and strong at the same time So few years to give you wings to fly Show you the stars to guide your ship by Chorus It's your world so live in it
