So [bad word] to the world 
Got so much I can tell you baby 
So many lessons to learn 
Let me tell you I've heard 

Because people can be [bad word] 
And the world is full [bad word] 
That's when you need to call me 
When the [bad word] gets you down 
And there's no one else around 
That's when you need to call me 

Oh you'll be strong, you hold on 
You will get through it 
And when you can't do it 
I'll make you better than that 
Don't be scared, sing your song 
Bring your soul to it 
And when you're through with it 
I know you're better than that 

I still believe 
That world is a good place baby 
For every vulture and thief 
Kindness in every stranger 

When it's slipping through your hands 
When you do not understand 
That's when you need to call me 
When you cannot carry on 
When you feel like hope is gone 
That's when you can call me 

Oh you'll be strong, you hold on 
You will get through it 
And when you can't do it 
I'll make you better than that 
Don't be scared, sing your song 
Bring your soul to it 
And when you're through with it 
I know you're better than that 
 [bad word] to the world 
Got so much I can tell you baby 
So many lessons to learn 
Let me tell you I've heard 

The road is long, so just hang on 
It's gonna be alright 
I'll make you better than that 
The road is long, so keep your faith 
When your zero [bad word] 
It's gonna be alright 

(And you'll be judged 
on who you love the color of your skin) 

The road is long, just hang on 
It's gonna be alright 

Oh you'll be strong, you hold on 
You will get through it 
And when you can't do it 
I'll make you better than that 
Don't be scared, sing your song 
Bring your soul to it 
And when you're through with it 
I know you're better than that 

Oh you'll be strong, you hold on 
You will get through it 
And when you can't do it 
I'll make you better than that 

Don't be scared, sing your song 
Bring your soul to it 
And when you're through with it 
I know you're better than that
