You gotta give it your all
Get up when you fall
Gotta keep on fighting
Oh baby isn't this exciting
We're on the tip top of this world
And we're never coming
No we ain't gonna go
Never coming down

Open your eyes
Look at this - the surprise
This is our canvas
Yes we have this
This is our time
To shine
To tell them all why

We rose up from nothing
The ashes of everything
WE will light the match
Open up the escape door hatch
Come out into the real world
It's our home now

So you gotta give it your all today
Get up when you fall today
Gotta keep on fighting
Oh baby isn't this exciting
We're on the tip top of this world
And we're never coming
No we aren't gonna go - lost in the sound
No we're never coming down

The author's comments:
Hello readers, fellow writers, and singers whom I hope will come to enjoy and follow my writings. So, this is the first song I'm putting up on Teen Ink, I hope you like it. It could be seen as a poem, but I hear music when I read it, so song lyrics it is. Basically, although it could have a few symbolic meanings, I imagine this song as kids, teenagers, like you and me perhaps, growing up and taking the world as ours. After all, at some point in time, in some way, each generation takes over from the last one. And our time is coming. Soon, this will be our world. It's a beautiful thing. So. Let's try to fix it please?
