Lyrics

Oh be brave and be strong
Cause the road you're traveling is long
When all your strength is gone
Keep walking

Take my advice
Leave my advice
Just do the first things first and the little things right

Be kind to each other
Write to your mother
Love who you want to
Work like you're meant to
Get up and do it again

I have no doubt
This is just a temporary breakdown
You can expect delays
You're in bad shape
Gonna be better than your birthday
Here come your parade

Leave a candle in the window
When the sun makes a shadow
