You Never Know (feat. Juliana Wilson)

You Never Know

I won’t let this dirty town

beat me up or drag me down

I’ve got my dreams I won’t let go

you said yourself you never know

People say you must be mad

look at all the time you’ve had

and you’re no closer to your goal

but they don’t know the way I roll

No I don’t care what people say

I’m never going to feel that way

I’ll sing it from the mountain top

they’re never going to make me stop

Just try to feel it feel what it can do you

can use it to lift you up when you’re blue

It’s an old friend that will always be there for you to

inspire you to go do something new

It’s easy to criticize

but it’s just a thin disguise

and it won’t hide the fact that you

gave up on your dreams coming true

Now you sit around and moan

always staring at your phone

you're turning in to a machine

living inside a little screen

No I don’t care what people say

I’m never going to feel that way

I’ll sing it from the mountain top

they’re never going to make me stop

Just try to feel it feel what it can do you

can use it to lift you up when you’re blue

It’s an old friend that will always be there for you to

inspire you to go do something new

It’s never too late you’ll find

that even you can change your mind

don’t be afraid give it a go

just take a chance you never know

Now that it’s all said and done

it’s okay to be no one

and if you take it all in stride

at least you might enjoy the ride

Life can turn so suddenly

from delight to tragedy

a dream can help you carry on

go chase your dream before it’s gone

It’s always been a part of me

there ain’t no better way to be

c'mon and let it set you free

this one's for you and me
