Hey Kid

When I was young, I was so naive
I thought everything revolved around me
I was trapped in a cycle of hatred, made to think I was owed the world
The deprivation of myself caused me to see a lie
It made me believe that I have nothing left inside

Pen to paper, heart to heart
I can't relate and it's tearing me apart
What good are the words I sing if I cannot sing them with conviction?

Hey kid, I know this life is hard to live
But to know peace is to forgive
Control your anger let it go, before the seeds take root and grow

And if you find your heart at bay
And all these colors fade to grey
Remember what your mother said
"Forget regrets, and look ahead"

Don't let it go, don't let it go to waste
Live your life to the fullest
Don't let it go, don't let it go to waste
Live your life to the fullest

I can make these mountains move, when there's nothing left to prove
"Will you come back home?" she said
"Will you live for me?" she said

I don't know how long it'll take, but if you leave I understand
I just don't want you to break, so keep safe my heart in hand

Hey kid, I know this life is hard to live
But to know peace is to forgive
Control your anger let it go, before the seeds take root and grow

And if you find your heart at bay
And all these colors fade to grey
Remember what your mother said
"Forget regrets, and look ahead"

Chances, second chances
I was not enough for you so let me make it up to you
Chances, second chances
I was not enough for you, so let me make these dreams come true
