The World Once Told Me


The world once told me If you have a dream, go for it Push on, push through Don't let anyone stop you You are immortal, invincible. But the world also didn't tell me, That none of this was true, Life is rough, life is tough, People can and will be cruel. Dreams are only for profit A means to live and survive. World I thought I could trust you, World, I thought I loved you, World, you played me for a fool World, oh world, you once told me.
