Moving Up

Now's your time to advance A haunting circumstance Can't say I'm not afraid But you will find your way There's much for you to learn Distinctions to discern You will succeed, I know I'll proudly watch you grow Son, I have been there too This ride is nothing new Leave your mark, stand your ground Don't let them hold you down The years will pass so fast Make friendships that will last Then set the world ablaze Make these your glory days Don't let them in your head Keep moving on instead Those toxic things they've said They're better left unread Don't let them in your head Keep moving on instead They thrive on tears you shed But they'll never get ahead With every passing day Live your life your own way Be true to who you are But aim to raise the bar There's so much to explore Kick open every door Life is what you make of it Keep striving, don't submit Don't let them in your head Keep moving on instead Those toxic things they've said They're better left unread Don't let them in your head Keep moving on instead They thrive on tears you shed But they'll never get ahead
