Make the best of what you have

Don't say you hate your parents
Because they won't always be there

Don't wish that you could die
Because lifes too short

If your friends are being stupid
Let them be, you don't need people like that surrounding
you

Surround yourself with the people who you want to be like
With the people you find yourself happiest around

Be who you are
Don't change yourself for anyone else

Because you are amazing
And don't let anyone tell you differently

Remember things change
And they change fast
So take life as it comes
And don't let the minor setbacks bring you down
Overcome them
And be a better person because of them

And so I say
This is for the kids
Who never do anything wrong
But still never get noticed

This is for the kids
Who love their parents 
And make sure they do everything they can to show that

This is for the kids
Who do everything they can for others
Get nothing in return
And still keep helping

This is for the kids
Who would die for someone
They didn't even know

This is for the kids
Who want nothing more than to see the world be a better
place
Who want to change things no matter how much it takes

This is for the kids 
Who know everything goes wrong
and everything gets messed up
But they still keep their heads up
and they still keep going
Because they know theres something out there
Someone out there who wants to see them strong
Wants to see them healthy and 
Wants to see them become better people

This is for the kids
Who know they're good people
But don't flaunt it

This is for the kids
Who respect themselves enough
to keep away from things that will harm them

Heres to the kids
Who help their friends
No matter what

This is for the kids
The kids who show others what it takes to make it
What it takes to be the most they can

Take life by the horns
No shortcuts
No backroads
Just all straight out
Take it as it is
