we're getting older,
we have decisions to make
about who to love,
or which road to take .

wether to pay attention,
or to make it a bludge
if you should make up with a friend,
or keep an unfair grudge .

shoud you do wrong?
to stay in the crowd
or strive to do you're best,
and make your parents proud

but you have to remember,
to keep pushing on
because what seems like a problem now,
will one day make you strong.
