I know it's hard to find your own way To find out what you're standing for Don't be afraid to make the mistakes That everyone else made before We're living in a versatile world So many different kind of people pon earth The obstacles we're facing just seem kind of absurd Listen to the youth and let them know what them worth Let them know they are heard ‘Cause every single one have something to say And every single soul has come here to stay Lift each other up instead of hiding away We'll see a better day I know it's hard to find your own way To find out what you're standing for Don't be afraid to make the mistakes That everyone else made before What does the future have in stall for us If negativity seems to be all for us How can we build communities that are for all of us When so much insecurities just make it hard to trust I remember the time when I was a likkle girl I was surrounded by a big, scary world Had to make my own decisions and it sometimes didn't work Learned my lesson, know my worth Now some a dem want me to go this way The rest of them want me fe dweet that way I see seh you want me to follow your way But in the end I will have to go my way It might be simple to say but I know that it's hard It will be easier the earlier you start We're wasting so much time while we're groping in the dark I know it's hard to find your own way To find out what you're standing for Don't be afraid to make the mistakes That everyone else made before I know it's hard to find your own way To find out what you're standing for Don't be afraid to make the mistakes That everyone else made before I know it's hard to find your own way To find out what you're standing for
