RHYTHM SAFARI

CRUEL CRAZY BEAUTIFUL WORLD

 

You have to wash with the crocodile in the river

You have to swim with the sharks in the sea

You have to live with the crooked politician

Trust those things that you can never see

Ayeye ayeye Jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye

 

You have to trust your lover when you go away

Keep on believing tomorrow will bring a better day

Sometimes you will smile while you’re crying inside

And just once you will turn away while the truth is shining bright

Ayeye ayeye Jesse mfana ayeye ayeye

 

Chorus

It’s a cruel crazy beautiful world

Every day you wake up I hope it’s under a blue sky

It’s a cruel crazy beautiful world

One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye

Goodbye - It’s your world so live in it !

 

Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you

It kills me to know you won’t escape loneliness,

Maybe you lose hope too

Ayeye ayeye Jesse mfana ayeye ayeye

 

Chorus

When I hold your small body close to mine
I feel weak and strong at the same time
So few years to give you wings to fly
Show you stars to guide your ship by

Chorus

It's your world so live in it
