Blessings

[Verse 1: MayDay]
Stack them up cause you never know
When it'll all be gone
Memories of waiting for the right time
Cause it always felt wrong
Dreaming so much that your mama told you to calm down
To remember that you first got to work hard
Or the light won't shine down
On you when you're in the spotlight
When you're working so late
That when it's finally nighttime
You're ready to keep going
Cause you know this is your time now
Being young has its own complications
But you never think twice about trying things out
You live for the moment
Never thinking about the next day
Never believing in consequences
Cause you think that you're invincible
You think that you can fight the whole world
Even when it's impossible
Yeah I miss those days cause I wasn't thinking
Now all I do is wonder about my next move
Going through heartache
Cause love is still something
I don't understand to this day
Sometimes I love so hard
But don't get what I need
And sometimes I push people away
Cause it gets easier to breathe
And being alone can be confusing
Cause it feels right but

[Hook: MayDay]
When I go out I feel like I need
Someone to live for
Someone to come home to
Someone to not take for granted
Cause thinking gets complicated

[Verse 2: MayDay]
I sit around hoping that I made the right choices
And even though I didn't go
Through what my neighbor did
I still got my own story
And I don't compare
Cause equality is a blessing
And my emotions get hectic
I live for the high of what life can bring me
My mama said I better listen and learn
I took all her lessons
And placed them on my heart
I took all my blessings
And wrapped them in a cloth
Threw them in the sky
So that they’d land
On those who can't survive
Those going through so much
It’s ruining their minds
Those kids who don't have the opportunities deserved
The ones who are struggling to stay on a clear path
The ones who break their own hearts
Cause they don't know how to love
Cause it's easier to break away from it all
And not think about what you can do
You just give up cause you don't believe in you
Yeah I've been there, done that
Learned that it's better to take a risk
Got to go out there and stop listening to the ones
Who break your spirit and tell you you're too late
See I made so many mistakes
That I'm lucky to still be alive
If I could get around chances
Then anyone can learn to do right

[Hook: MayDay]
When I go out I feel like I need
Someone to live for
Someone to come home to
Someone to not take for granted
Cause thinking gets complicated

[Verse 3: MayDay]
And I'm still growing
Cause being human means you'll never be perfect
And sometimes I believe that it's worth it
Cause I would never want to trade my story
For one that was easy
I'm proud of the fact
I've been through so much
And that I can share my story
For a kid who's lost
And tell him that it's gonna be ok
But that right now it'll feel like a mess
Tell him that he better close his eyes
And envision the dream that will conquer the madness
That will open the door for something better
And that light will shine down one day
And every opportunity will be displayed
Choose wisely cause it's not always about the money
You gotta stay strong
Gotta keep moving on
And remember to look back
The past is the reason you're still living
And remember to place your faith
In the things that get you up each day
And learn how to believe
Because we need to teach
Everyone out there that
Nothing's going to stand in your way
Dream so hard that every obstacle disappears
And keep your head up
Don't let anyone ever bring you down yeah

[Hook: MayDay]
When I go out I feel like I need
Someone to live for
Someone to come home to
Someone to not take for granted
Cause thinking gets complicated

[Verse 4: MayDay]
Remember that they got their own problems
Once everyone's vulnerable we see who they are
The kid who tormented you
Is hiding all his scars
He's filled with so much hate for the world
That his only cure is to tear others apart
And learn to forgive
But remember you don't have to forget
But don't think about it too much
Cause life is all about moving on
And don't worry about the relationships
That you don't still have today
People will come and go
It's a plan that doesn't always make sense
Trust is something that you have to carry around
Don't just hand it to anybody
Cause people change
Like morning and night
Not everyone is your friend
You gotta learn to get that right
And enemies can become friends
Once the time is right
You realize you do good
And things don't always turn out expected
But patience is the key to everything in life
Keep on loving, keep on living, just keep on believing
Keep on learning cause knowledge is never ending
And thank the ones who are still on your side
Remember the ones who are now flying
And learn to love yourself
Learn to be strong
Learn to move on and smile
Cause today is another blessing
Even if you can't think of a reason why

[Hook: MayDay]
When I go out I feel like I need
Someone to live for
Someone to come home to
Someone to not take for granted
Cause thinking gets complicated
