Lyrics

You got to learn to suffer in this world,
You got to learn to eat the pain,
You fight it all you can,
But in the end you understand,
It's better if you don't resist the rain.

There's a woman out there who loves me so,
I can see here wearing her pretty dress,
She must know just how I feel,
But I don't know if she's real,
And I don't even care to guess.

There's a man who tells me all of his dreams,
Says he's so tired of playing this game,
He asks me all the time,
If I understand his crime,
But I don't even know his name.

Mama raised me to take good care of myself,
She said it ain't that hard if you want to be free,
You just open up your mind,
And forget all that you find,
Well, mama had never been out to sea.

Maybe I can save you from drowning,
But I'm not so sure I'm the one one shore,
I try to reach out,
But you always have that doubt,
And we ask ourselves what are we struggling for?
