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 filled with regret, I've made a mess of things, I've been a total wreck, I've been disrespected
Been taken for a ride, I've been rejected, and had my patience tried
But I look at the world, and 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, yeah, and I've been blue, I've been abused, and I've been lied to
I've been left behind, been misunderstood, I've been out of my mind, and not feeling good
I've been lost
I've been lost

I've been turned away, I've paid the cost, and there's been hell to pay
And I look at the world, and 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, and had the truth hidden
I've been kicked around, I've been wasted
I've been on the brink, I've had my faith tested
I've been on the brink, I've had my faith tested

My spirits sink
I've been unwelcome
I've been unloved
I've been cheated on, and made up for love
And I look at the world, and all its glory, I look at the world, and it's a different story each time
I look at the world
And all its glory, I look at the world, and 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
It has never been the first
It has never been the first
Life has never been the first
Life has never been the first
It has never been the first
Life has never been the first
