(Verse 1)
Sometimes life will wreck you down and tear you apart
It will challenge who the person deep down really is
And it will threaten to steal your independence
Sometimes life will throw pain at you all at once
And when it hits you, it will feel like a thousand knives
Stabbing you brutally inside and out
But you gotta move forward with a positive outlook
No matter how bleak things seem to be

(Chorus)
Soon you’ll start to realize life won’t always go your way
But that doesn’t mean you should just give up
And start to believe that your struggles will never end
Instead, you’ll just need to look ahead,
Think of all the wonders the future may hold,
And keep holding on

(Verse 2)
Sometimes life will feel like it got the better of you
But if you show him who the boss really is
He will finally back down and let the spotlight shine on you
Other times you’ll feel deep nostalgia
Like you want to go back to your picture perfect childhood days
Where you didn’t even know
What the rude words circling around you even meant
But if you hold your head up high, you’ll be able to make it through

(Chorus)
Soon you’ll start to realize life won’t always go your way
But that doesn’t mean you should just give up
And think that nothing will get better
Instead, you’ll just need to look ahead,
Think of all the wonders the future may hold,
And keep holding on

(Bridge)
You suddenly feel like your at your breaking point
You ask yourself ‘How am I going to make it through?’
All the pain and sadness feels unbearable
As it showers upon you
But after it’s all over and everything is okay again
You’ll look back and realize all this just made you stronger

(Chorus)
Soon you’ll start to realize life won’t always go your way
But that doesn’t mean you should just give up
And think that nothing will get better
Instead, you’ll just need to look ahead,
Think of all the wonders the future may hold,
And keep holding on
