When you're wide awake and dreary 
And you've lost your way back home 
Just sit tight and don't worry 
For help is coming to take you home 
The world is full of many people 
Some good, yet most are bad 
And though everyone wants something 
There's certain things they can not have 
But nothing will ever stop them 
And they put sins right on their hands

When you're all alone and crying 
And the days just seem to long
When you're thinking about dying
Just try to be more strong
For what's the point in learning how to lose 
When you're the only person who can choose

Everyone on this world is born free 
Everyone has feelings like you and me 
What's the point in trying to hold on tight 
When someone always has to lose the fight 
The mistakes we make affect people all around us 
The stubborn seem to cause all of the fuss  
Lets get together and just work things through 
We can change the world and make things true 
Everyone on this world is born free 
Lets make things the way they really should be
