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   Ayeye ayeye      It’s a cruel, crazy, beautiful world   Every time you wake up I hope it’s under a blue sky   It’s a cruel, crazy, beautiful world   One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye   Goodbye   It’s your world so live in it!      Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you   It kills me to know you won’t escape loneliness,   Maybe you lose hope too      Ayeye ayeye   Jesse mfana    Ayeye ayeye      It’s a cruel, crazy, beautiful world   Every time you wake up I hope it’s under a blue sky   It’s a cruel, crazy, beautiful world   One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye   Goodbye   It’s your world so live in it!      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      It’s a cruel, crazy, beautiful world   Every time you wake up I hope it’s under a blue sky   It’s a cruel, crazy, beautiful world   One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye   Goodbye   It’s your world so live in it!      It’s your world so live in it
