Lyrics
Hm, I don't know what happened, of course. But I do know that the older you get, the more of these kinds of decisions you're going to have to face
You don't have to tell me all the gory details
You are old enough to make your life your own
You were once a little kiddo telling me tales
Now you've grown
I bet middle school's a challenge, just a guess, love
That you try and try, and still, you end up burned
I'm a grown up but I've faced my share of mess, love
And I've learned
Do the right thing, Greg
Make a hard choice
Then you'll take wing, Greg
Then you'll find, oh
When you are wandering
When you are lost
Do the right thing, Greg
At any cost
But what if you don't know what the right thing is?
Just look deep inside your heart. Once you find it, you'll know
Oh, it makes you stronger
It makes you you
So do the right thing, Greg
This is what matters
And as long as we're talking, that's what I'd do
Well, I was up all night, tossing and turning, over this Rowley situation. But I looked inside and finally made up my mind
I let Rowley take one for the team!
I WAS FRAAAAAAMED!!!!
I did the right thing, Mom!
Right thing, Mom!
I worked it all out!
'S'What we're talking about!
And though it might sting, Mom
Might sting, mom!
I know beyond doubt!
Oh, that I am serving
Oh! Mm, serving!
A greater good
Oh, he's doing what he should!
I did the right thing, Mom!
Oh, thing, Mom!
I grabbed the brass ring, Mom!
Oh, ring, Mom!
And I brought us hot chocolate!
Thank you, honey
I did the right thing, Mom
I knew you would
This is a beautiful moment
