Jump Rope

Remember how you used to say
B
You couldn't wait till tomorrow for a brand new day
E
And no fuss when ya had to ride the bus
B
You just add a little blush

To paralyze your school crush

E
Now you're older and the weight is on your shoulder
B
Make the world a little colder

No more hide'n in the old day
E
Be strong

Don't give up hope
B
It will get hard

Life's like a jump rope

B
There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze
E
There'll be a path that you will have to choose
B
There'll be a win and there will be a lose and
E
You have to hold your head up high
