As You Make Your Way

As you make your way
Here's what you need to know
So that when you see the signs
You will know which way to go

You are gonna have to navigate
A lot of crooked highways
A lot of turns you'll have to take alone
Before that road leads you home

People in this world are gonna judge you
But don't assume that makes you wrong
Just don't let anyone control you
Don't let them change the way you sing your song

You see, your mama's always talking
About keeping you away from the bad
I know you're gonna have to get your little heart broken
Before you realize the love you had

So work hard
Hard work is good
Hard work will reap for you just what it should
As he who gives his sweat and blood
Avoids getting swept away in the flood

But don't be afraid to take a moment
To fill up your cup
Have a little fun out there as your going
Don't be afraid to live it up

If you need a friend, you just call me
Do not hesitate
I will be here for you darling
As you make your way
As you make your way
