Warren Brothers Cold Cruel World Lyrics

A high school girl in southern California loses her life
Working in a fast food restaurant
And all the store lost was a hundred dollars, sha la la la la la
While a six year old in Cleveland rides his bike without training wheels
His two front teeth missing smiles all the way to show his mother
At the soccer fields, sha la la la la la

Under the very same sky at the very same time
Somebody's laughing and somebody's crying
Somebody's living and somebody's dying
I'm just a guy who's in love with a girl
It's a beautiful day in the cold cruel world

Young mother in Dallas, Texas who doesn't have long to live
Makes a video for each of her children's 16th birthday
It's the present that she'll give, sha la la la la la
While a couple in Davidson County after a bitter separation
Reconcile and renew their vows in front of the church's congregation Sha la la la la la

Under the very same sky at the very same time
Well somebody's laughing and somebody's crying
Somebody's living and somebody's dying
I'm just a guy who's in love with a girl
It's a beautiful day

Tomorrow Wall Street's gonna rise or it will fall
The Earth will keep on spinning 'round like some big old crystal ball
And we keep pretending like we really understand
While the children's choir keeps singing
"He's got the whole world in His hands"

Under the very same sky at the very same time
Well somebody's laughing and somebody's crying
Somebody's living and somebody's dying
I'm just a guy who's in love with a girl
It's a beautiful day in the cold cruel world

It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day in the cold cruel world
It's a beautiful day
