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:
Its a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope its under a blue sky
Its a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- its your world so live in it!
Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you
It kills me to know you wont 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
Its your world so live in it
