It's not always rainbows and happy thoughts
Not always unicorns if you forgot
We get down sometimes and it's a lot
To carry this world when the rhythm is lost
Twenty-four, had a dream
Livin' it up and it's fit for a king
I see the cost but I can't retreat
You only got one life so this is where I'll preach
Stand for your vision even when you give in
Never let 'em bleed you for more than a minute
This is why you came here just to see name here
Standing in the lights, oh baby now don't fear
Life is a vision for the mission we're given
You can sink or you swim or you can rise through the venom
I choose to believe and that don't mean that I'm with it
If you feel what I'm saying can you sing for a minute
It's not always rainbows and happy thoughts
Not always unicorns if you forgot
We get down sometimes and it's a lot
To carry this world when the rhythm is lost
When you're in it, down for a minute
Prayin', 'Oh God why can't it be finished'
Facin' three strikes and it feels like the limit
How you gonna turn around to home run hit it
I was just a young man built with a vision
Now I'm just an old man fightin' with a cynic
Every time I turn around my mind says quit it
But I'm still in the game and I came here to win it
It's not always rainbows and happy thoughts
Not always unicorns if you forgot
We get down sometimes and it's a lot
To carry this world when the rhythm is lost
Life is a vision for the mission we're given
You can sink or you swim or you can rise through the venom
I choose to believe and that don't mean that I'm with it
If you feel what I'm saying can you sing for a minute
It's not always rainbows and happy thoughts
Not always unicorns if you forgot
We get down sometimes and it's a lot
To carry this world when the rhythm is lost
They wanna tell ya boy don't don't change
They wanna tell ya boy stay the same
They wanna tell ya boy walk this way
They don't have an idea what it's gonna take
It's not always rainbows and happy thoughts
Not always unicorns if you forgot
We get down sometimes and it's a lot
To carry this world when the rhythm is lost
Life is a vision for the mission we're given
You can sink or you swim or you can rise through the venom
I choose to believe and that don't mean that I'm with it
If you feel what I'm saying can you sing for a minute
It's not always rainbows and happy thoughts
Not always unicorns if you forgot
We get down sometimes and it's a lot
To carry this world when the rhythm is lost
They wanna tell ya boy don't don't change
They wanna tell ya boy stay the same
They wanna tell ya boy walk this way
They don't have an idea what it's gonna take
