Jump Rope

Remember how you used to say

You couldn't wait till tomorrow

For a brand new day?

And no fuss when you had to ride the bus

You just add a little blush

To paralyze your school crush

Now you're older

And the weight is on your shoulder

Make the world a little colder

No more hidin' in the old day

Be strong, don't you give up hope

It will get hard

Life's like a jump rope

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down, yeah

'Cause it will get hard

Remember, life's like a jump rope

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down, yeah

It will get hard

'Cause it will get hard

There'll be a bump and there will be a bruise

There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze

There'll be a path that you will have to choose

There'll be a win and there will be a lose

And you gotta hold you head up high

And watch all the negative'll go by

Don't ever be ashamed to cry

You go ahead

'Cause life's like a jump rope

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down, yeah

It will get hard

Remember, life's like a jump rope

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down, yeah

It will get hard, come on, woo

I wanna tell you that everything will be okay

That everything will eventually turn itself to gold

So keep pushing through it all

Don't follow, lead the way

Don't lose yourself or your hope

'Cause life's like a jump rope

(Up, down)

(Up, down)

(Up, down)

(Up, down, yeah)

You stomp your feet so hard

You make it pound

Raise it back up to the top

And now we're never comin' down

Up, down, stomp your feet, spin around

Clap hands to the rhythm

Then you slip down

Stomp your feet so hard, you make it pound

Raise it back up to the top

And now we're never comin' down

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down, yeah

It will get hard

Remember, life's like a jump rope

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down, yeah

It will get hard

'Cause it will get hard

(Up, down)

(Up, down)

(Up, down)

(Up, down, yeah)

Life's like a jump rope

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down

Up, down, yeah

Whoa

'Cause life's like a jump rope
