Promise me you will keep your beauty
Hold what's dear, keep your love and your cheer
Its an ugly place oh this human race
But there's beauty here too
This I see in you

Don't let the world pull you down
Make you cry make you frown
Give up when you feel kicked down oh no
You've got to put a smile on your face
Go to that one special place
This I know to be true
Because I've lived so many more years than you

When I look at your face
I see your innocence and grace
In this moment it is so clear
You're so sweet and oh so dear
Can I keep it this way
Keep the monsters at bay
from hurting you

Don't let the world pull you down
Make you cry make you frown
Give up when you feel kicked down oh no
You've got to put a smile on your face
Go to that one special place
This I know to be true
Because I've lived so many more years than you

Will you listen to what I have to say,
I don't know - I don't know
All my wisdom that I am giving away
I just want to protect you and so

Don't let the world pull you down
Make you cry make you frown
Give up when you feel kicked down oh no
You've got to put a smile on your face
Go to that one special place
This I know to be true
Because I've lived so many more years than you

Promise me you will keep your beauty
Hold what's dear
Keep your love and your cheer
