Now's your time to advance
A haunting circumstance
Can't say I'm not afraid
But you will find your way
There's much for you to learn
Distinctions to discern
You will succeed, I know
I'll proudly watch you grow
Son, I have been there too
This ride is nothing new
Leave your mark, stand your ground
Don't let them hold you down
The years will pass so fast
Make friendships that will last
Then set the world ablaze
Make these your glory days
Don't let them in your head
Keep moving on instead
Those toxic things they've said
They're better left unread
Don't let them in your head
Keep moving on instead
They thrive on tears you shed
But they'll never get ahead
With every passing day
Live your life your own way
Be true to who you are
But aim to raise the bar
There's so much to explore
Kick open every door
Life is what you make of it
Keep striving, don't submit
Don't let them in your head
Keep moving on instead
Those toxic things they've said
They're better left unread
Don't let them in your head
Keep moving on instead
They thrive on tears you shed
But they'll never get ahead
