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 Stand up Be strong go out there Hold on to the real things that matter 'Cause no one's gonna hand it 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, 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 it to you on a silver platter Yeah (Trumpet Solo)
