[Intro]

Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

[Verse 1]

I like that song about this wonderful world

It's got a sunny point of view

And sometimes I feel it's true

At least for a few of us

I like that world, it makes a wonderful song

But there's a darker point of view

But sadly just as true

For so many among us

[Pre-Chorus]

Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

[Chorus]

In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak

In the strongest man there's a child so weak

In the whole wide world there's no magic place

So you might as well rise, put on your bravest face

Put on your bravest face

[Verse 2]

I like that show where they solve all the murders

An heroic point of view

It's got justice and vengeance too

At least so the story goes

I like that story, makes a satisfying case

But there's a messy point of view

That's sadly just as true

For so many among us

For so many among us

[Chorus]

In the softest voice there's an acid tongue

In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young

In the shakiest will there's a core of steel

On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel

In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak

In the strongest man there's a child so weak

In the whole wide world there's no magic place

So you might as well rise, put on your bravest face

Put on your bravest face

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

In the softest voice there's an acid tongue

In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young

In the shakiest will there's a core of steel

On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel

In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak

In the strongest man there's a child so weak

In the whole wide world there's no magic place

So you might as well rise, put on your bravest face

(Put on your bravest face)

[Pre-Chorus]

Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

[Chorus]

In the softest voice there's an acid tongue

In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young

In the shakiest will there's a core of steel

On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel

In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak

In the strongest man there's a child so weak

In the whole wide world there's no magical place

So you might as well rise, put on your bravest face

You might as well rise, put on your bravest face

[Outro]

Put on your bravest face

Put on your bravest face

Put on your bravest face
