It's a cold world new song version

It's a cold world

Intro and chorus

It's a cold world- it's a cold cold world
everywhere you turn, there's so much pain
You can pretend that it's all o.k
You can pretend that it's all o.k...

It's a cold world- such a cold cold world
everywhere you turn, there's so much pain
You can pretend that it's all o.k
that it's all o.k, yeah it's all o.k


Can't you see it-can't you see it?
That it's love that this world really needs
It's not too late- no, it's not too late
to help others in their time of need
to help others, yeah...but

Chorus
It's a cold world- it's a cold cold world
everywhere you turn, there's so much pain
You can pretend that it's all o.k
You can pretend that it's all o.k

It's a cold world- such a cold cold world
everywhere you turn, there's so much pain
You can pretend that it's all o.k
that it's all o.k, yeah it's all o.k

So you're o.k-  yeah you're o.k...
you can't see their need, and just how they bleed
cause there's too much greed,
so you keep your eyes closed...

Show you care- yeah show you care
there's a big surprise- when you open your eyes
and see the truth of it all, yeah
the truth of it all...but

Chorus
It's a cold world- it's a cold cold world
everywhere you turn, there's so much pain
You can pretend that it's all ok
You can pretend that it's all ok

It's a cold world- such a cold cold world
everywhere you turn, there's so much pain
You can pretend that it's all ok
that it's all ok, yeah it's all ok

repeat chorus and fade

Love both the music and your poem...I agree...love is what the world needs...a lot more tolerance and less judgment. Your words are inspirational and uplifting. Well done, John. Sara
