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 dreamsI've been filled with regret, I've made a mess of things, I've been a total wreck, I've been disrespectedBeen taken for a ride, I've been rejected, and had my patience triedBut I look at the world, and all its glory, I look at the world, and it's a different story each timeI look at the worldI've been used, yeah, and I've been blue, I've been abused, and I've been lied toI've been left behind, been misunderstood, I've been out of my mind, and not feeling goodI've been lostI've been lostI've been turned away, I've paid the cost, and there's been hell to payAnd I look at the world, and all its glory, I look at the world, and it's a different story each timeI look at the worldI've been unforgivenI've been let down, and had the truth hiddenI've been kicked around, I've been wastedI've been on the brink, I've had my faith testedI've been on the brink, I've had my faith testedMy spirits sinkI've been unwelcomeI've been unlovedI've been cheated on, and made up for loveAnd I look at the world, and all its glory, I look at the world, and it's a different story each timeI look at the worldAnd all its glory, I look at the world, and all its glory, I look at the world, and it's a different story each timeI look at the worldEach timeI look at the worldIt has never been the firstIt has never been the firstLife has never been the firstLife has never been the firstIt has never been the firstLife has never been the first
