I woke up from another nightmare

With nobody there to calm my nerve

Just a vision of two summers playing stateside

It seems like such another world

They tell you sit down and hush, hush

This is how the world works

They tell you sit down and hush, hush,

You'll die like everybody else

They say you're only a kid you'll forget it

They're too scared to notice

When you're down, keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

You never know when you're gonna hit

When you're down, keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

But you have to face it on your own,so keep swinging

So wake me up and bring me daylight

Bring me back to where I used to live

Growing up with everybody on my shoulders

It's so much farther to fall now that I'm older

They told me sit down and hush, hush

This is how the world works

They tell you sit down and hush, hush

You'll die like everybody else

When you're down keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

You never know when you're gonna hit

When you're down, keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

But you've got to face it on your own，so keep swinging.

I need to convince myself that I'm gonna die like everybody else

I need to convince myself that I'm gonna die like everybody else

that I'm gonna die like everybody else

When you're down, keep swinging

Because life a mystery

You never know when you're gonna hit

When you're down, keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

But you've got to face on your own

But you've got to face on your own

so,keep swinging
