What Kids Are Supposed To Do
Counting freckles on the bus, playing one, two, three, four bust
Swinging feet because they still can't touch the ground
Chasing monsters in the park, draw hopscotch with some chaulk
Getting tucked into bed before its dark
Five bucks for their first tooth and they
Start a Christmas list in June
Oh, how can such a small thing be so cute
When they smile at a plane in the sky
When they laugh, a moment after they just sat and cried
They speak their mind, 'cause they've got something to prove (got something to prove)
They'll make mistakes and learn a thing or two (learn a thing or two)
'Cause that's what kids are supposed to do
Yeah, that's what kids are supposed to do
Fail their first driving test, but fall in love with their first
And for the first time imagine a home away from home
Say a prayer before the big game for every soul that passed away
And play with heart because for them, you can be brave
Countdown to a championship and they
Know they worked so hard for this
Oh, how can such a moment exist?
When they smile underneath the glowing lights
When they win, a moment after they just sat and cried
They give their all, 'cause they've got something to prove (got something to prove)
They'll make mistakes and teach us a thing or two
'Cause that's what kids are supposed to do
Yeah, that's what kids are supposed to do
Passing through a metal frame, learning laws that don't explain
Why the government cares more about money than the children slain
Practice hiding under desks, where they're supposed to learn their math
Scared that every bell that rings could be their last
Would you still smile if your friend loses their lives
Would you still laugh after years of trauma, living terrified
As we still breathe, we'll be the change this world needs
Fix mistakes our leaders refuse to
That's not what kids are supposed to do (that's not what kids are supposed to do)
That's not what kids are supposed to do (that's not what kids are supposed to do)
What if AR's were not around
And kids got help when they felt down
What if they stayed in bed that day
Faked sick to play video games
What if they lied, ditched last period
Would they be alive?
Swinging feet because they still can't touch the ground
Chasing monsters in the park, draw hopscotch with some chaulk
Getting tucked into bed before its dark
Five bucks for their first tooth and they
Start a Christmas list in June
Oh, how can such a small thing be so cute
When they smile at a plane in the sky
When they laugh, a moment after they just sat and cried
They speak their mind, 'cause they've got something to prove (got something to prove)
They'll make mistakes and learn a thing or two (learn a thing or two)
'Cause that's what kids are supposed to do
Yeah, that's what kids are supposed to do
Fail their first driving test, but fall in love with their first
And for the first time imagine a home away from home
Say a prayer before the big game for every soul that passed away
And play with heart because for them, you can be brave
Countdown to a championship and they
Know they worked so hard for this
Oh, how can such a moment exist?
When they smile underneath the glowing lights
When they win, a moment after they just sat and cried
They give their all, 'cause they've got something to prove (got something to prove)
They'll make mistakes and teach us a thing or two
'Cause that's what kids are supposed to do
Yeah, that's what kids are supposed to do
Passing through a metal frame, learning laws that don't explain

Practice hiding under desks, where they're supposed to learn their math
Scared that every bell that rings could be their last

Would you still laugh after years of trauma, living terrified
As we still breathe, we'll be the change this world needs
Fix mistakes our leaders refuse to
That's not what kids are supposed to do (that's not what kids are supposed to do)
That's not what kids are supposed to do (that's not what kids are supposed to do)

What if they stayed in bed that day
Faked sick to play video games
What if they lied, ditched last period
Would they be alive?
