Hey, kid, look alive, it's speedin' up You're so scared of the world, but it's comin', ready or not Oh, ready or not Ready or not Loose ends and shoestrings need tyin' up Turned your water to wine, now it's time to catch the morning Sun Oh, it's up to us It's up to us When you walk the line, you'll find That you don't know it all It might make you wanna cry But it won't last 'Cause it's all you've ever known And it's not just sticks and stones Gotta take it as it comes Good times can keep you from growin' up Chasin' the high leaves you dry, and then it's back to dust Oh, and don't get stuck Don't get stuck So farewell, farewell to what it was And you make up your mind, buy some time, but it ain't enough Oh, it's up to us It's up to us When you walk the line, you'll find That you don't know it all It might make you wanna cry But it won't last 'Cause it's all you've ever known And it's not just sticks and stones Gotta take it as it comes Looking out the window, then I hit the wall It's alright Oh, it's alright Where did all my sense go, did I lose it all? It's alright Oh, it's alright 'Cause it's all you've ever known And it's not just sticks and stones Gotta take it as it comes
