Ooooh-ooohh

hey-yeeeah



You got to keep on keepin on

You got to keep your head up high

You gotta work with what you've got

And someday you will flyyyyy



VERSE 1:

Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal

Second hand clothes

Surviving is pivotal

Praying to God at night

That things'll get better soon



I remember when I was in your position

Tried to tell people my story

But no one would really listen

I know times are hard right now

Happiness is hard to find right now



CHORUS:

You got to keep on keepin on

You got to keep your head up high

You gotta work with what you've got

And someday you will flyyyyy

You got to keep on keepin on

You got to keep your head up high

You gotta work with what you've got

And someday you will flyyyyy



VERSE 2:

Lookin out the window to a rose grows in concrete

Dreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feet

Hard to find the good in such a scene so bad (so so sad)

Seein other kids with their Tims on

Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one

Longin' for a day when you get your chance to shine

Don't worry, there'll come a tiiiiiiime



(CHORUS)



BRIDGE:

Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex (mmmm)

Why you gotta choose to make my life so complex

Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum

Trouble leaves some moments for some fun

I can almost guarantee you

It'll get better todaaaaaayyy



(CHORUS)
