When I Look at the World - Lucinda Williams

I’ve been out of luck

I’ve been talked about

I’ve been locked up

I’ve been shut out

I’ve had some bad dreams

I’ve been feeling regret

I’ve made a mess of things

And been a total wreck

I’ve been disrespected

And taken for a ride

I’ve been rejected

And had my patience tried

But then I look at the world

In all its glory

I look at the world

And it’s a different story

Each time I look at the world

I’ve been used and out of work

Been abused

I’ve been lied to

I’ve been left behind

I’ve been misunderstood

I’ve been out of my mind

And not feeling good

I’ve been lost

I’ve been turned away

I’ve paid the cost

It’s been hell to pay

And then I look at the world

In all its glory

I look at the world

And it’s a different story

Each time I look at the world

I’ve been unforgiven

I’ve been let down

I’ve had the truth hit

I’ve been kicked around

I’ve been wasted

I’ve been on the brink

I’ve had my faith tested and my spirits sink

I’ve been unwelcome

I’ve been unloved

I’ve been cheated on and made a fool of

And then I look at the world

In all its glory

I look at the world

And it’s a different story

Each time I look at the world

In all its glory

I look at the world

And it’s a different story

Each time I look at the world

Each time I look at the world

Each time I look at the world
