Life's been known to knock us down
Lay us flat on the ground
But when you lose your faith and hope
Just recall childhood jokes

When we were kids we never cared
About our wallet size or hair
Learned that life is all fun
Playing games til we lose the sun

But some things change as we grow
Giving up on all those impossible goals
We all want to shoot for the stars
But only few make it that far

I wish I lived a little more
Didn't care if I hit the floor
But failure brings me down so low
Forget that it's the only way to grow

And when I leave my childhood home
I'm not certain where I'll go
It's so scary to be
Confident in my hopes and dreams

And when my flaws overwhelm
I will leave them on the shelf
Because I know I can be
Happy alone so perfectly

I never got why we stop
Only living half the life that we want
We should learn opportunity
Come and goes so quickly

So when you get scared of the moment
Just remember it may only come once
I must learn that life's not a movie
And happy endings aren't a guarantee
