Don't let your young life get you down
   It always had a certain mystery
   Many changes come to everyone
   About the time that they turn seventeen
   Grandma said at times you'll feel a sting
   There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
   Then she said hold onto your faith
   'Cause in this world you've got to go and get yours
   So you stand up
   Be strong go out there
   Hold on to the real thing that matter
   'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
   There's no need to feel you're on your own
   Just let your intuition guide you through
   Take one step toward what you believe
   Don't be afraid to make your move
   In my head those words remind me what
   Grandma said - at times you'll feel a sting
   There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
   Then she said hold on to your faith
   Don't be scared go out there
   Stand up
   Be strong go out there
   Hold on
   To the real things that matter
   'Cause no one's gonna hand' em to you
   On a silver platter
   Just stand up
   Be strong go out there
   Hold on
   To the real things that matter
   'Cause no one's gonna hand 'em to you
   On a silver platter
   Don't be scared go out there
   Just stand up my brother sister
   Hold on
   To the real things that matter
   'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you
   On a silver platter
   Stand up my brother sister
   Hold on to the real things that matter
   'Cause no one's gonna hand 'em to you
   On a silver platter
