Hide to learn
Fight to live
Deal with pain
Live with all

This is what you have to do
To survive this crazy world
Sing a song of slavery
Then yell a word of freedom

You have to do what you have to do
You got to fly to be the best
You got to fall to be noticed
Speak out if you want to be satisfied

Swim through hardships
Only to find another
Barge into the door
Then be knocked onto the floor

This is what you have to do
To survive this crazy world
Sing a song of freedom
Then fall back into slavery

Fight to survive
Walk to get ahead
Sing to be heard
Live with all

Be blamed for everything
But don't say a word
Take on the punishment
Even if you don't deserve it


If someone speaks up for you
Welcome it with kind eyes
Try something different
Be all you can be

Laugh at yourself if you fall
Be kind to your enemies
Be a wonderful friend
Never give up

This is what you have to do
To survive this crazy world
Sing a song of success
Then get broken down again

If you want to complain
Remember these words
In the time that you whine
You could be out there making progress

If you doubt
Or you're scared
Make believe you can do it
And the rest will come into place

Do what you love
Make fun out of hard
Life would be so much shinier
If you made it so

If you're piled up with work
You can't seem to finish
Relax and think
There will be a happy ending

Practice makes perfect
Dreams come true
Believe in your heart
Stand your ground

This is what you have to do
To survive this crazy world
Never give up
And the world won't give up on you.
