Candide Begins His Travels - It Must Be Me
[CANDIDE]
My master told me
That men are loving-kind
Yet now behold me
Ill-used and sad of mind
Men must have kindness I cannot see
It must be me
It must be me

My master told me
The world is warm and good
It deals more coldly
Than I had dreamt it would
There must be sunlight I cannot see
It must be me
It must be me
