[Chorus]
I'm proud of all my friends
'Cause life ain't always easy, but
They keep holding on
I'm proud of all my friends
'Cause they keep believing that
The best is yet to come
[Verse 1]
I saw you dreaming about life when you were staring at death
Saw you screaming at the devil, "I ain't scared of you yet"
And without breath in your lungs I saw you singing hallelujah to the sun
'Til the storm passed 'cause the best is yet to come
And although you felt conflicted and restricted inside
You never laid down your convictions to pick up your desires
Though you stood in the fire, you never smelt like the smoke
And you could have made a fist, but held your hand out to hope
This is a ode to the moment you put your stake in the ground
And said that your pain would not redefine your power
And you said that disappointment would not become the ointment
You use to change your wounds and numb your pain and dumb your voice
[Chorus]
I'm proud of all my friends
'Cause life ain't always easy, but
They keep holding on
I'm proud of all my friends
'Cause they keep believing that
The best is yet to come
[Verse 2]
And I saw you scorn the good as the enemy of the best
Taking hold of that treasure that is buried in your chest
And that cage made of bones there's an ageless gold
Only the faithful and the bold and the brave can hold, and you
Dispose of the foes that erode your soul
Those who pose like a prince 'cause they're clothed in robes
Underneath they ain't nothing but blood, breath, and bones
Puppets without prose and Pinocchio's nose
This is a ode to the moment you discovered you were golden
Discovered you were not the understudy of the chosen
And yes we have been broken, but we have not been beaten
There's a weapon in our weakness and a hope within our healing
[Chorus]
I'm proud of all my friends
'Cause life ain't always easy, but
They keep holding on
I'm proud of all my friends
'Cause they keep believing that
The best is yet to come
[Bridge]
Life don't look like when we played outside
And it's, hard to admit but we got played sometimes
And I, I can't deny that we all break sometimes
But we keep holding, holding on
Oh
[Bridge]
Life don't look like when we played outside
And it's, hard to admit but we got played sometimes
And I, I can't deny that we all break sometimes
But we keep holding, holding, holding, holding on
[Chorus]
I'm proud of all my friends
'Cause life ain't always easy, but
They keep holding on
I'm proud of all my friends
'Cause they keep believing that
The best is yet to come
[Ending]
The best is yet to come
(Best is yet to come)
The best is yet to come
(Best is yet to come)
