Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't you let your young life get you down
It's always had a certain mystery
Many changes come to everyone
About the time that they turn 17
[Verse 2]
Grandma said at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said hold onto your faith
'Cause in this world you've got to go and get yours
[Verse 3]
So you stand up
Be strong, go out there
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
[Verse 4]
There's no need to feel you're on your own
Just let you intuition guide you through
Take one step toward what you believe
Don't be afraid to make your move
[Verse 5]
In my head those words remind me what grandma said
At times you feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said hold onto your faith
Don't be scared, go out there
[Verse 6]
Just stand up
Be strong, go out there
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
[Verse 7]
Stand up
Be strong, go out there
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
[Verse 8]
Don't be scared, go out there
Just stand up, my brother sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
[Verse 9]
Stand up, brother sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
[Verse 10]
Stand up, brother sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
[Verse 11]
Stand up, brother sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
Yeah
