They used to call me "The Franchise"
Told me that I was the man I
Thought I was gonna get drafted
'Till shit started to happen
Got injured at 16, damn
There go my big dreams
Back at the start talking to God
Thought for me he had big things
Then he told me
All of the pain and all of the nights so lonely
Will give me the strength to be anything I wanna be
Wouldn't believe but let me let you know, let you know, let you know
You just gotta
Hang on to the moments when you're flying
The moments when you're crying
Hang on to the ones that hold you down
To the ones that ain't around
The good and the bad, good and the bad, good and the bad,
The good and the bad, the good and the bad
You just gotta hang on

Shit almost went to the navy
Thank God for Jason he saved me
Picked up the phone and called Sara
'Cause she knew where music could take me
She gave me money for application
Told me I needed an education
Sat me down with all the papers
I had a temper but she had the patience
Then she told me
All of the pain and all of the nights so lonely
Will give me the strength to be anything I wanna be
Wouldn't believe but let me let you know
Let you know let you know
You just gotta
Hang on to the moments when you're flying
The moments when you're crying
Hang on to the ones that hold you down
