Funny it is, being a student

Being told what to do

Not just at college or school

But at home too

All this, is it really worth it

You may ask yourself, and rightly so

Doing what your teachers and parents say

Will it really help you grow

Reasonable, are these doubts

But to find out, there’s only one way

Build yourself, on all that you learn

And keep learning more, day after day

Be aware, chase what you want

Trust your intuitions, trust your goal

Nothing stops you from being great

As long as you got that fire in your soul

It’s ok to fall down

It is ok to make mistakes

It is ok to fail

It’s ok to have the shakes

It’s ok to not know everything

It is ok to feel sad

Relax, let it go, it’s not the end

Life ain’t that bad

Keep going, keep grinding

Even when you hit a wall

Because you’re in it

For the long haul

As a student, the world may seem

A harsh place to you, right now

No doubt, life comes with its challenges

That sometimes, pin you down and how

It isn’t meant to be easy, never was

To survive is tough, to win is tougher

But give it all you got, give life a chance

Good things come, to those who work harder
