Keep Swinging

I woke up for another nightmare

With nobody there to calm my nerve

Just a vision of two summers playing stateside

It seems such like another world

They tell me sit down and hush, hush

This is how the world works

They tell me sit down and hush, hush

You'll die like everybody else

They say you're only a kid and you'll forget it

They're too scared to notice

When you're down, keep swinging

'Cause life is a mystery

You never know when you're gonna hit

When you're down, keep swinging

'Cause life is a mystery

But you have to face it on your own

So keep swinging

So wake up and bring me daylight

Bring me back to where I used to live

Growing up with everybody on my shoulders

So much farther to fall now I'm older

They tell me sit down and hush, hush

This is how the world works

They tell me sit down and hush, hush

You'll die like everybody else

When you're down, keep swinging

'Cause life is a mystery

You never know when you're gonna hit

When you're down, keep swinging

'Cause life is a mystery

But you have to face it on your own

So keep swinging

So live your life

Just make the best of what you can

You'll finish off the rest with no regrets

I need to convince myself

That I'm gonna die like everybody else

That I'm gonna die like everybody else

When you're down, keep swinging

'Cause life is a mystery

You never know when you're gonna hit

When you're down, keep swinging

'Cause life is a mystery

But you have to face it on your own

But you have to face it on your own

So keep swinging
