Don’t let the world get you down



Don’t let the world get you down
Don’t let it be the reason for your frown
There will be times where it’ll feel easy
Especially during your life getting messy
But you’re the only one who has the power
To make life count by every hour
Take responsibility for what you do
But don’t take the blame for others too
Try your best to be happy
Even on the days you’re feeling crappy
Moments go and moments come
So let it be something you learn from
Don’t let those experiences define who you are
Because look at how you’ve come so far
So remember when you’re down
Because the world got you there
and you feel like all you’ve taken
Is all you can bare
You are not your mistakes or your pain
And just remember the rainbow
that comes after the rain
