Bend Don't Break

When the cards are dealt and hands are played, not fair to every man

We make do and just grit each day, until we can barely stand

Sometimes we make our own luck, sometimes not at our best

Sometimes you question why you’ve got that target on your chest

We can’t choose time or place when chance

Plays its part and bares its weight in every circumstance

Struggle on young boy and girl

Even when at times it feels like it’s you against the world

Like quicksand creepin’ around your legs

You get in way above your head

Step back consider what’s at stake

As long you can bend, don’t break

Twisted roads may bend you (don’t break)

Hidden paths may stray you (don’t break)

Show the cracks don’t stumble (don’t break)

Head high forever humble

Choose to bend, don’t break

We make decisions we can’t take back, choose the path that makes no sense

We hurt the ones that we love the most, we burn down all respect

Better men the me have tried and better men will fail

But carry on and soon reflect when we act beyond the pale

Remember branded scars won’t fade

Can’t wear with pride, but cannot hide, these burns that are self-made

So build that tower up to rise

The ones we hurt on pedestals, on pedestals we prize

Like quicksand creepin’ around your legs

You get in way above your head

Step back consider what’s at stake

As long you can bend, don’t break

Twisted roads may bend you (don’t break)

Hidden paths may stray you (don’t break)

Show the cracks don’t stumble

Choose to bend, don’t break

Twisted roads may bend you (don’t break)

Hidden paths may stray you (don’t break)

Show the cracks don’t stumble (don’t break)

Head high forever humble

If you can bend, don’t break

Choose to bend don’t break

You will bend, don’t break

Choose to bend, don’t break
