I woke up from another nightmare
With nobody there to calm my never
Just a vision of two summers playing stateside
It seems like such another world
They tell me sit down and hush hush
This is how the world works
They tell me 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
You life is a mystery
You never know when you gonna hit
When you're down keep swinging
You life is a mystery
But you have to face it on you own
So keep swinging
Wake me up and bring me daylight
Bring me back to where I used to live
Growing up with everybody on my shoulder
It's so much farther to fall now that I'm older
They tell me sit down and hush hush
This is how the world works
They tell me sit down and hush hush
You'll die like everybody else
When you're down keep swinging
You life is a mystery
You never know when you gonna hit
When you're down keep swinging
You life is a mystery
But you've got to face it on you own
So keep swinging
So live your live
Just make the best of what you can
You finish up the rest and know the grades
Cause 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 am gonna die like everybody else
When you're down keep swinging
You life is a mystery
You never know when you gonna hit
When you're down keep swinging
You life is a mystery
But you have to face it on you own
Yeah you have to face it on you own
So Keep Swinging
