Solace - Kirsty Mcgee
The world is not a happy place
The people in it aren't all nice
There's danger looking everywhere
And there are snakes in paradise
You have to work it out somehow
Throughout giving you advice
Don't listen to a word I say
Who thought you son to trust that way
The world is not a pretty place
The people in it couldn't care
What trusting men and women do
Will make allowances for you
You have to work it out somehow
Find a way and muscle through
For you will find as I have found
There's no one who'll take care of you
That way lies in madness and despair
I can tell you I've been there
The world is not an easy place
Learn to swim or else you drown
There's poison in the drinking cup
Where cynicism knows no boundaries
And you'll find beauty everywhere
It isn't easy to ignore
Though you will find some solace there
Of pointless beauty child beware
In righteousness for glory sake
Turn on your heal from your mistakes
Don't listen to a word they say
Who thought you son to trust that way
