Lyrics

Hey kid, I know you're scared
Life ain’t fair and no one cared
You’re growing up too fast, too lost
Trying to survive no matter the cost
You’ll hate your past, you’ll carry pain
You’ll cry at night, but hide the strain

But you’re not broken, just bruised
And you're more than what you lose

Hey kid, hold on
I’ve been where you are
Hey kid, stay strong
You’ve come so far
It hurts right now
But you’ll break through
Hey kid, I know you
I know you

There’ll be nights you can’t forget
Mistakes you’ll drown in deep regret
You’ll hear sirens and freeze in fear
Like they’re still coming, even years from here
But you’ll find hope, and you’ll grow strong
And you’ll see why you stood so long

You’re not your lowest day
There’s light ahead, don’t walk away

Hey kid, hold on
I’ve been where you are
Hey kid, stay strong
You’ve come so far
It hurts right now
But you’ll break through
Hey kid, I know you

One day you’ll wake up
And the weight will be less
You’ll stand in the mirror
And see progress
Not perfect, not done
But still becoming someone

Hey kid, hold on
I’ve been where you are
Hey kid, stay strong
You’ve come so far
It hurts right now
But you’ll break through
Hey kid, I know you
I know you
