.life

Left foot, right foot, time to go
Cause I'm kinda bored of staying on the floor
Just take what I learned, get up and know
Better than to repeat what I did before

Chin up, chest out, eyes open wide
And yes, I'll remember it's OK to cry
If I need to, but after tears have dried
I'll take it as a lesson and grow, or try

Try to at least understand that this is, this
Is a chance to learn and see it for what it is
This is not an attack, it's for my character to build
Become more resilient to the merciless hits

That I have to endure as I live and breathe
So I'll put my knife away, sword back in its sheathe
Even when it feels like too much for me
Just inhale, exhale, and walk to the beat

Saying

Hey
I'll be fine
Just alright
It's just been a bumpy ride
Hey
Nothing ever
Stays awry
When I smile
All through the walks of life

I'm sure to make a mistake or two
But hey, don't we all sometimes go 'Oops'?
It's what we do after that defines us then
Me? I chose to pick up the pen

And share with the world my story, so
Others who have felt it too can know
"I know that it feels so lonely and cold,
But as long as I'm here, you will never be alone"

So c'mon, take my hand, hell, my arm if you please
Share with me your story, your pains, your pleas
Cause if I made it here, through it all, then we
Can surely make it out, if we just believe

Through attempts at my life, giving up, giving out
And the voices up here getting really quite loud
Even then, every day, somehow, someway
I always found the spirit and the strength to once again say

Hey
I'll be fine
Just alright
It's just been a bumpy ride
Hey
Nothing ever
Stays awry
When I smile
All through the walks of life

I'll be fine
Be alright
Through this bumpy ride
Because
Nothing stays
Awry when
I smile all
Through the walks of life
