They’ll try to hold you down, you know,

That’s just how these things go.

The failures will only help you grow,

That’s just how these things go.

They’ll throw their sticks; they’ll throw their stones,

That’s just how these things go.

They’ll spit bitter words for you to swallow,

That’s just how these things go.

They’ll jeer and laugh and cause you sorrow,

That’s just how these things go.

They’ll bring storm clouds and dull your rainbow,

That’s just how these things go.

You will never let them weigh you down though,

Change the way these things go.
