Waves

The strings of my heart have been pulled in all directions

And I can't seem to figure out which way I should be headed

I got dreams but they tell me they're too big

Stay closer to the ground live on the safe side instead

And I start to believe it, and maybe I should choose the road everyone else is taking

But now my soul is speaking, this is what it's saying, yeah

Hey girl, don't get so down on yourself

Don't be afraid, just keep your head above the swell

It will all fall into place, stay the course and have some faith

Hey girl, don't get so down, you got to rise with the, rise with the, rise with the waves

You gotta rise with the, rise with the, rise with the waves

This life is rough, and sometimes you feel defeated

 They say you're not enough, put you down for just believing

 But you know me, I got plans to carry out

 Blueprints for my life, I'm gonna build it from the ground up

 I may be bent, I may be broken, but I will never lose sight of the dreams that keep me going

 And I'll be busting all of my chops, till I make it to the tip top

 Hey girl, don't get so down on yourself

 Don't be afraid, just keep your head above the swell

 It will all fall into place, stay the course and have some faith

 Hey girl, don't get so down, you got to rise with the, rise with the, rise with the waves

 You got to rise with the, rise with the, rise with the waves

 I got mad gratitude for all my friends and family

 Who showed me love and helped me see what I could truly be

 And while I know the path I've chosen ain't that easy

 Sometimes the lows will make you feel like you are sinking

 But I'm taking all of it in stride, all the lows and all of the highs

 Everything is gonna be alright, just like the waves I'm gonna rise

 Hey girl, don't get so down on yourself

 Don't be afraid, just keep your head above the swell

It will all fall into place, stay the course and have some faith

 Hey girl, don't get so down, you got to rise with the, rise with the, rise with the waves
