So It Goes

You got your whole life to swing away,

at every opportunity that heads your way.

You gotta mark your find or you’ll fade away,

but I know, it’s just not the case. 

You gotta tell them you’ll find your own path,

and tell them, wait for the aftermath.

You’ll show everyone who you can be,

and just like that, you’ve made history.

So it goes.

You tell yourself everything’s alright,

but I see you crying on the inside.

And I know, you’ll hide it anyway. 

but you should know, I’ve felt the same.

Because I’m human, too,

just like you, through and through.

We’re all a part of this great big family,

and that’s why we’ll make history,

So it goes.

And I know, that the world can’t be fixed,

when it’s cold, so I beg you to hope

for this moment I try to pretend it’s alright,

but I know without hope there’s no place else to go,

no home to call your own,

And I know you’re right there, I can see you,

I can tell, you’re willing to pretend that

nothing can be fixed,

but it can,

but it can,

but it can

can be fixed.

but it can,

but it can,

but it can,

can be fixed.

I’ll water the roots, if you do too,

no matter what, we’ll make it through.

All that’s passed us has helped us grow,

into a tree, in a garden of hope.

Our leaves will whisper songs of peace, 

In the gentle breeze, our strength won’t cease.

As seasons change and time goes by, 

we'll stand tall, reaching for the sky.

And I know that it’s hard not to think,

you can grow, but you can, and you will,

you’ll climb right up that hill.

And I know you might be lost, 

but don’t give up the fight,

Because one day that hope

will come into light.
