When I was born my Daddy said I was broken
The beginning of the end of a life I hadn't chosen
He taught me how to give up
He taught me how to work the system
But I never had the time, I never had the luxury
Life's hard, I've always known that
I've never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don't cry
'Cause Heaven's my home anyhow
Mmm...mmm...
Shinin' my shoes seems like time for wasting
'Cause this bright sun is the only shine I need
They say you only live once and the lot you get's for keeping
The glory's gonna come and make a new man out of me, yeah
Life's hard, I've always known that
I've never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don't cry
'Cause Heaven's my home anyhow
When I was born my face was like the angels
That took my father by the hand
And said "Life won't be hard now"
No, life's hard, I've always known that
I've never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don't cry
'Cause Heaven's my home anyhow, yeah, yeah
Life's hard, I've always known that
I've never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don't cry
'Cause Heaven's my home anyhow, yeah, yeah
Oh, my home
When I die
When I die
When I die
When I die, please don't cry
No-no-no-no-no-cry-no-no-no-no
Life's hard, I've always known that
Never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don't cry
'Cause Heaven's my home
