Hold on for dear life little man, little man |
|
You'll be living with the cards that you've been dealt |
|
You can hold the world in your hands, little man |
|
But you'll never know the pain your mother felt |
|
You may find yourself a middle man, little man |
|
And you worry it's an ordinary life |
|
Then one day you find you're in demand, lonely man |
|
And in a moment she will want to be your wife |
|
This is a complicated world |
|
That offers you very simple days |
|
Where all the simple minded people |
|
Live in pure and simple ways |
|
There are no ordinary lives |
|
Only some ordinary days |
|
Where all the ordinary people |
|
Live in extraordinary ways |
|
Then you welcome to your life a little girl, it's a girl |
|
A little later than you wanted but to early for this world |
|
And you can hold her tiny body in your hands, lucky man |
|
She will overcome more than the other girls could ever stand |
|
This is a complicated world |
|
That offers you very simple days |
|
Where all the simple minded people |
|
Live in pure and simple ways |
|
There are no ordinary lives |
|
Only some ordinary days |
|
Where all the ordinary people |
|
Live in extraordinary ways |
|
Hold on for dear life little man, little man |
|
You'll be living with the cards that you've been dealt |
|
You can hold the world in your hands, little man |
|
But you'll never know the pain your mother felt |
