Though we might have precious little It's still precious I like that song about this wonderful world It's got a sunny point of view And sometimes I feel it's true At least for a few of us I like that world, it makes a wonderful song But there's a darker point of view But sadly just as true For so many among us Though we might have precious little It's still precious In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak In the strongest man there's a child so weak In the whole wide world there's no magic place So you might as well rise put on your bravest face I like that show where they solve all the murders An heroic point of view It's got justice and vengeance too At least so the story goes I like that story, makes a satisfying case But there's a messy point of view That's sadly just as true For so many among us In softest voice there's an acid tongue In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young In the shakiest will there's a core of steel On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel Though we might have precious little It's still precious .Rush
About This Quote
She was telling me about this wonderful world that she lived in, where everything is just fine and good, and sometimes I feel like it's true. It is true for all of us. It's got a sunny point of view. There's some things that are good in the world, but there's some bad things too.
But I like the world, I like it for what it makes a wonderful song. But there's a darker point of view. But sadly, it is just as true.
There are so many of us who've got precious little, but it's still precious to us. And in the sweetest child there's a vicious streak. There are some people who are kind but nasty underneath, and some people who are really lovely, but secretly they're really cruel.
And in the strongest man there's a child so weak. For every strong person there's someone weaker than they are, or even weaker than that. And in the whole wide world there's no magic place so you might as well rise put on your bravest face, smile at everyone you meet and say hello to everyone you meet because they're worth it - even if they're not so wonderful in themselves - because they're worth it - even if they're not so wonderful in themselves - because they're worth it - even if they're not so wonderful in themselves - because they're worth it - even if they're not so wonderful in themselves - because they're worth it - even if they're not so wonderful in themselves - because they're worth it - even if they're not so wonderful in themselves
