Though we might have precious little

It's still precious



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



Though we might have precious little

It's still precious



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



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



In 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



Though we might have precious little

It's still precious
