Hey kid, I know exactly what you're going through
I know it all seems so hard, and you don't know what to do
You'll have days when it seems like the world is caving in
As if no matter what, the worst always happens
Hey kid have I ever told you, I was in your shoes
There was a time around your age, when I was always blue
Time creeped by at what seemed like the slowest ever pace
The advice I'm about to give you was my saving grace
Keep your head up and don't look back
Focus on you and don't ever lose track
Of what's important, your family who loves you so - oh - oh
Always be kind, don't get jealous
But sometimes its ok to be overzealous
About things you love and care most about
But my saving grace was without a doubt
The ability to love and never ever give up
Growing up we were always taught to show humanity
Even at the toughest times when we faced adversity
Don't let those who won't matter in 4 years get you down
Chances are you'll never see them again if you ditch this town
Keep your head up and don't look back
Focus on you and don't ever lose track
Of what's important, your family who loves you so - oh - oh
Always be kind, don't get jealous
But sometimes its ok to be overzealous
About things you love and care most about
But my saving grace was without a doubt
The ability to love and never ever give up
Put your phone down, get fresh air
Its OK to live your life and not always share
Every moment you live on a social thread
Make a memory for yourself instead
Keep your head up and don't look back
Focus on you and don't ever lose track
Of what's important, your family who loves you so - oh - oh
Always be kind, don't get jealous
But sometimes its ok to be overzealous
About things you love and care most about
But my saving grace was without a doubt
The ability to love and never ever give up
