So, this is the world
So, this is the world
It’s colder than I remember
Childhood felt like the warmth of May
These days feel more like December
So, this is the world
Not quite what I’d expected it to be
The going gets tough often
And it turns out not even freedom is free
So, this is the world
Feels like a strange new place
So much division and war
Over everything from religion, to gender, to race
So, this is the world
Crazy how it turned out to be
I’m just reaching adulthood
Now I’ve gotta figure out how to make it work for me
So, this is the world
And I’m the young bird who has been thrown out the nest
I guess it’s time to spread my wings
I guess it’s time to learn to soar and live knowing I’ll always do my best
So, this is the world
