Know life is hard, man
(Good and the bad, good and the bad, good and the bad)
Let me tell you about it
Look
They used to call me their friend
Tell me that I was the man
I thought I was gon' get drafted
Till shit just started to happen
Got injured at 16
Dang, there go my big dreams
Back at the start, talkin' to God
Thought for me, he had big things
Then he told me
All of the pain and all of the nights so lonely
Will give me strength to be anything I wan' be
Wouldn't believe, but let me let you know
Let you know, let you know
You just gotta hang on to the moments when you're flying
The moments when you're crying
Just hang on to the ones that hold you down
The ones that ain't around
See good and the bad, good and the bad, good and the bad
The good and the bad, good and the bad
You just gotta hang on
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Shit, almost went to the Navy (Facts)
Thank God for Jason, he saved me (Facts)
Picked up the phone and called Sarah
'Cause she know where music could take me
She gave me money for applications
She told me I need an education
Sat me down with all the papers
I had a temper, she had the patience (I love y'all)
Then she told me
All of the pain and all of the nights so lonely
Will give me strength to be anything I wan' be
Wouldn't believe, but let me let you know
Let you know, let you know
You just gotta hang on to the moments when you're flying
The moments when you're crying
Just hang on to the ones that hold you down
The ones that ain't around
See good and the bad, good and the bad, good and the bad
The good and the bad, good and the bad
You just gotta hang on
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Live those moments when you're flying
Feel those moments when you're crying
Yeah
Love the ones that hold you down
And pour one out if they ain't around
But just remember to
Hang on to the moments when you're flying
The moments when you're crying
Just hang on to the ones that hold you down
The ones that ain't around
See good and the bad, good and the bad, good and the bad
The good and the bad, good and the bad
You just gotta hang on
(Hang on, hang on, hey)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa)
