i won't complain

Benjamin Clementine

It's a wonderful life, it's a wonderful life
Traversed in tears from the heavens
My heart is a mellow drum, a mellow drum in fact
Set alight by echoes of pain 24-7, 24-7

I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry
I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry

You might not say that its a wonderful world
and it's a wonderful life
and it's a wonderful day
Just as yesterday

But I won't complain
No I won't complain
Though my good days are far gone
They will surely come back one morn
So I won't complain, no, no

My mind is a mirror, a reflection only known to me
And for those who hate me, the more you hate me
The more you help me
And for those who love me, the more you love me
The more you hurt me

When I go to bed in the night
I see some children in the light
Fighting unknown shadows behind my mother's back
And although I don't understand
my dreams I know somewhere
There is hope, theres is hope, somewhere, there is hope

I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry
I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry

You might not say that its a wonderful world
and it's a wonderful life
and it's a wonderful day
Just as yesterday

But I won't complain
I won't complain No, no
no, no, no, no, no
no, no, no, no, no, I won't complain, no I won't complain

Though my good days are far gone
