Oh, my child I know

You′re hurt and you can't let go

It′s not your fault and you don't deserveAll the bad and the hurt

Ooh

I know you've tried so hard

Ooh

I know you′ve done your part

It′s not fair

You did your time

How much longer will you suffer in this life?

But don't give up, just hold on tight

It′ll be alright

All your life you've tried

To be a good man inside

Did everything that you thought you should

Didn′t seem to do you any good

Ooh

I know you've tried so hard

Ooh

I know you′ve done your part

It's not fair

You did your time

How much longer will you suffer in this life?

But don't give up, just hold on tight

It′ll be alright

Ooh

I know you′ve tried so hard

Ooh

I know you've done your part

It′s not fair

You did your time

How much longer will you suffer in this life?

But don't give up, just hold on tight

It′ll be alright
