Thought I knew it all

Thought I had it all down


Leapt right in

Cause I thought

I had it all figured out


But the world seems so much bigger when you get up close

So I’ve got to find out just what means the most


And now I’m sailing through the waves at high tide

Hope I don’t get knocked down

Running through this maze called life

Just trying to get around

So I’ve gotta hold my ground

And I’ve gotta stay strong

I’ve gotta keep fighting

I’ve gotta get along

But I keep getting caught up in this ride called life

Caught up in this ride called life


Thought that I didn’t

Need no one at all


Pushed away the net

Cause I didn’t think I’d ever fall


But the world seems so much bigger when you’re fighting alone

Now I’ve got to find a place to call home


And now I’m sailing through the waves at high tide

Hope I don’t get knocked down

Running through this maze called life

Just trying to get around

So I’ve gotta hold my ground

And I’ve gotta stay strong

I’ve gotta keep fighting

I’ve gotta get along

But I keep getting caught up in this ride called life


And the waves, they’re only gonna get taller

And the winds their only gonna get stronger

So I’ve gotta learn to love this ride

Live it up till the day I die


And the waves, their only gonna get taller

And the winds, their only gonna get stronger

So I’ve gotta learn to love this ride

Live it up till the day I die


And I’m still sailing through the waves at high tide

I’ll get up if I get knocked down

Running through this maze called life

But I’ve got people to help me out

And I’m gonna hold my ground

And I’m gonna stay strong

I’m gonna keep fighting

I’m gonna get along

But I keep getting caught up in this ride called life

I wrote this song for anyone who may be in a bad situation to show that life is hard, without a doubt, but with people by your side you can get through tough times. This is written as a song, and everyone can sing it differently, as long as the message it is sending helps them.
