In this world there will be people that you love
There will be people that just don't give a damn
Don't even care to know your name
But if you know what it means to be humble
What it means to do the right thing
Take a bow and do it all over again

You could work all your life
Work a nine to five
Barely surviving rush hour traffic
You could work for yourself
Earn a little wealth
And have some time to be happy

In this world there will be people that you trust
There will be evil men that just
Want to take a cut and smile right in your face
But if you know you've got more than enough
There are more who've got it rough
Take a bow for giving everything you can

You could work all your life
Work a nine to five
Barely surviving rush hour traffic
You could work for yourself
Earn a little wealth
And have some time to be happy
