| I woke up from another nightmare
|
| With nobody there to calm my nerve
|
| Just a vision of two summers playing stateside
|
| It seems like such another world
|
| They tell you sit down and hush, hush
|
| This is how the world works
|
| They tell you sit down and hush, hush
|
| You’ll die like everybody else
|
| They say you’re only a kid you’ll forget it
|
| They’re too scared to notice
|
| When you’re down, keep swinging
|
| Because life is a mystery
|
| You never know when you’re gonna hit
|
| When you’re down, keep swinging
|
| Because life is a mystery
|
| But you’ve to face it your own
|
| So keep swinging
|
| So wake me up and bring me daylight
|
| Bring me back to where I used to live
|
| Growing up with everybody on my shoulders
|
| It’s so much farther to fall now that I’m older
|
| They told me sit down and hush, hush
|
| This is how the world works
|
| They tell you sit down and hush, hush
|
| You’ll die like everybody else
|
| When you’re down keep swinging
|
| Because life is a mystery
|
| You never know when you’re gonna hit
|
| When you’re down, keep swinging
|
| Because life is a mystery
|
| But you’ve got to face it on your own
|
| So keep swinging
|
| So live your life
|
| Just make the best of what you can
|
| Finish up the rest and know the pain
|
| I need to convince myself that I’m gonna die like everybody else
|
| I need to convince myself that I’m gonna die like everybody else
|
| That I’m gonna die like everybody else
|
| When you’re down keep swinging
|
| Because life is a mystery
|
| You never know when you’re gonna hit (Keep Swinging, Keep Swinging)
|
| When you’re down, keep swinging
|
| Because life is a mystery
|
| But you’ve got to face it on your own (So keep swinging)
|
| But you’ve got to face it on your own
|
| So keep swinging |
