Lyrics
I shined the brightest light on
I have exposed and examined the most intense light on
The darkest part of my mind
The darkest aspects of my thoughts
Lo and behold
Look and see
All these things that I came to find
Discovering all these things that I have come to realize
I'll offer a lesson
I will share a lesson
As I'm turning four-oh
As I am approaching the age of forty
Try to be present
Attempt to be in the moment
These things you love before they go
Cherish the things you love before they disappear
Give all the love you've got
Give all the love you possess
But if it's one thing that I know
However, I have learned one particular thing
Prepare, you, for the worse
Get ready for the worst
And I say
And I proclaim
I have found life can knock you down
I have discovered that life can bring you down
And beat you to the ground
And defeat you completely
When you get down look around
When you are down, observe your surroundings
And take in all the sounds
And absorb all the sounds
No matter how hard it hits
No matter how harsh the impact
Move forward in spite of it
Move forward despite it
I have found life can knock you down
I have discovered that life can bring you down
And beat you to the ground
And defeat you completely
And when you take a blow to the gut
And when you face a strong hit
Dust yourself off and keep your chin up
Brush off the dust, stand tall, and remain optimistic
I have found life can knock you down
I have discovered that life can bring you down
The rest is up to you
The rest is your responsibility
There's no amount of nothing
There is no quantity of nothing
That can't be taken from you
That cannot be taken away from you
Take that to the bank
Consider that as a certainty
There's no house around
There is no structure
That cannot be burned down
That is immune to destruction by fire
Who are we to thank
Who should we express gratitude to?
Life hits, life kicks, life spits,
Life delivers blows, kicks, and spits
Deals shit, can't miss
Throws challenges that cannot be ignored
This is why you cannot quit
This is why surrendering is not an option
Even when it sucks you get back up
Even when it's challenging, rise again
This is what I think
This is my perspective
Give all the love you've got
Give all the love you possess
But if it's one thing that I know
However, I have learned one particular thing
Prepare, you, for the worse
Get ready for the worst
And I say
And I proclaim
I have found life can knock you down
I have discovered that life can bring you down
And beat you to the ground
And defeat you completely
When you get down look around
When you are down, observe your surroundings
And take in all the sounds
And absorb all the sounds
No matter how hard it hits
No matter how harsh the impact
Move forward in spite of it
Move forward despite it
I have found life can knock you down
I have discovered that life can bring you down
And beat you to the ground
And defeat you completely
And when you take a blow to the gut
And when you face a strong hit
Dust yourself off and keep your chin up
Brush off the dust, stand tall, and remain optimistic
I have found life can knock you down
I have discovered that life can bring you down
The rest is up to you
The rest is your responsibility
