Now I'm proud of all my friends
Because life ain't always easy
But, they keep holding on
And I'm proud of all my friends
Because they keep believing that the best
Is yet to come
I saw you dreaming about life
When you was staring at death
Saw you screaming at the devil
I ain't scared of you yet
And without breath in your lungs
I saw you screaming hallelujah to the sun
'Til the storm passed
'Cause the best is yet to come
And although you felt conflicted and restricted inside
You never laid down your convictions
To pick up your desires
Though you stood in the fire
You never smelt like the smoke
And you could have made a fist
But held your hand out to hope
This is your ode to the moment
You put your stake in the ground
And said that your pain
Would not redefine your power
And you said that disappointment
Would not become the ointment
You use to change your wounds
Numb your pain and dumb your voice
Now I'm proud of all my friends
Because life ain't always easy
But, they keep holding on
And I'm proud of all my friends
Because they keep believing that the best
Is yet to come
And I saw you scorn the good as the enemy of the best
Taking hold of that treasure
That is buried in your chest
And that cage made of bones
There's an ageless gold
Only the faithful and the bold and the brave
Can hold
And you dispose of the foes that erode your soul
Those who pose like a prince
'Cause they clothed in robes
Underneath they ain't nothing but blood, breath and bones
Puppets without prose and Pinocchio's nose
This is a ode to the moment you discovered you were golden
Discovered you were not the understudy, you're the chosen
Yes we have been broken but we have not been beaten
There's a weapon in our weakness and a hope within our healing
So...
Now I'm proud of all my friends
Because life ain't always easy
But, they keep holding on
And I'm proud of all my friends
Because they keep believing that the best
Is yet to come
Life don't look like when we played outside
And it's, hard to admit but we got played sometimes
And I, I can't deny that we all break sometimes
But we keep holding, holding on, oh
Life don't look like when we played outside
And it's, hard to admit but we got played sometimes
And I, I can't deny that we all break sometimes
But we keep holding, holding, holding on yeah
And I'm proud of all my friends
Because life ain't always easy
But, they keep holding on
And I'm proud of all my friends
Because they keep believing that the best
Is yet to come
