So you're goin' out on your own And you're finally leaving home You'll be alright, just watch out for your spirit You're gonna find that you're alone Makin' choices of your own Like a ship at sea, your life goes where you steer it It's a wounded world Full of love and lies It's a wounded world But you cannot be denied If you mean it when you try In this wounded world Sometimes, hurtin' bad, you're ready to give up Can't help, can't believe, you know, you used you like a drug We had similar adventures, never closed the door Part of me is part of you I can't tell you any more About this wounded world I don't mean to sound so cynical But it truly is a miracle That your heart turned out so good midst all this game, child Put your faith in them that earn it With your love you will discern it But don't judge nobody never out of anger Well, it's a wounded world Full of love and lies It's a wounded world But you cannot be denied When you mean it, if you try In this wounded world It's a wounded world, wounded world
