Hey Kid Lyrics

When I was young, I was so naive

I thought everything revolved around me

I was trapped in a cycle of hatred

Made to think I was owed the world

The deprivation of myself caused me to see a lie

It made me believe that I have nothing left inside

Pen to paper, heart to heart

I can't relate and it's tearing me apart

What good are the words I sing if I cannot sing them with conviction?

Hey kid, I know this life is hard to live

But to know peace is to forgive

Control your anger, let it go

Before the seeds take root and grow

And if you find your heart at bay

And all these colors fade to grey

Remember what your mother said

Forget regrets and look ahead

Don't let it go, don't let it go to waste

Live your life to the fullest

Don't let it go, don't let it go to waste

Live your life to the fullest

I can make these mountains move

When there's nothing left to prove

Will you come back home she said

Will you live for me she said

I don't know how long it'll take, so if you leave I understand

I just don't want you to break, so keep safe my heart in hand

Hey kid, I know this life is hard to live

But to know peace is to forgive

Control your anger, let it go

Before the seeds take root and grow

And if you find your heart at bay

And all these colors fade to grey

Remember what your mother said

Forget regrets and look ahead

Chances, second chances

I was not enough for you so let me make it up to you

Chances, second chances

I was not enough for you so let me make these dreams come true
