Verse 1: (Rap)
I'm feeling sick when I wake up, think I'm gonna throw up
When I think about everything that's probably going down
The things I've heard, things I've seen, would probably get you cryin'
Like a mother holding a starving child, while she herself is dying
Makes you feel like a helpless dope, looking like there ain't no hope
Makes you wanna close your eyes, never see again
But you never know, it might get better when, you
Chorus: (Sung)
Hold your hand up to the sky, turn your head up to the light
There ain't no need to burn your bridges, everything's gonna be alright
Don't stay on this road, you know where it leads
It's okay to cry, 'cause everyone needs, to know
Everything will be alright, yeah
Everything's gonna be alright
Verse 2: (Rap)
I didn't do the best things, didn't know the best people
But this ain't a good enough reason to be a reason
They didn't make me do it, did it on my own
Now I can't even look at myself, too ashamed to go home
Just walking down the street, wandering how to put it right
The streetlamps are flickering as I wander into the night
Too dark to cast a shadow, or is it just my soul
Showing me, telling me that I need to fill this hole
That I created, it's my fault, can I ever make this right?
I don't know, I can't see, I'm blinded by a light
And as I reach for it, I know that I gotta fight to make it right, and that's how it'll be if I just...
Chorus: (Sung)
Hold your hand up to the sky, turn your head up to the light
There ain't no need to burn your bridges, everything's gonna be alright
Don't stay on this road, you know where it leads
It's okay to cry, 'cause everyone needs, to know
Everything will be alright, yeah
Everything's gonna be alright
Bridge: (Sung)
There will be times in all our lives
When we wanna run and hide
But that won't ever change things
That won't help you to survive
Some times are gonna be tough
Tougher than you've ever seen
You gotta be the change you want to see
So take my hand, come with me and ...
Chorus: (Sung)
Hold your hand up to the sky, turn your head up to the light
There ain't no need to burn your bridges, everything's gonna be alright
Don't stay on this road, you know where it leads
It's okay to cry, 'cause everyone needs, to know
Everything will be alright, yeah
Everything's gonna be alright
