On the day that you’re born
They will look you in the eye
Swear to give you the world
Give a well-intentioned try
But you know that’s harder than they think
And sometimes the pain
Will just drive you to the brink

I know that I don’t always say it
But I just can’t wait to hear you play it

You sing and you shout and
Say what you got to say
The music, the rhythm
It is in your DNA
And don’t be afraid to
Wear your heart upon your sleeve
‘Cause love is the only
Impression that you leave
When all is said and done

In the blink of an eye
They can turn you upside down
If you’re willing to try
You can turn it back around
I know you’re stronger than you think
And you’re gonna fly
When those heavy shadows sink

I know that I don’t always show it
But I just wanted you to know it

(Chorus)
