I was wandering lost without a guide
Happy in my ignorance satisfied
Unaware that life demands a toll
When you've got no plan no future goal

And that's when reality hit me hard
Crashed right through left me scarred
Reality said "I'm here to stay"
And living wild was no longer the way

How hard it is to grow and stand
Relying only on your hand
A whole wide world you've got to face
Maybe with luck you'll find some grace

I had no clue how things could fall
Knock you down without warning at all
I felt at ease but life took hold
Shattered my dreams left them cold

When reality strikes it's clear as day
Everything you imagined fades away
It's rare to stand tall when it arrives
Reality's cruel but that's how it thrives

How hard it is to grow and stand
Relying only on your hand
A whole wide world you've got to face
Maybe with luck you'll find some grace

Don't think it's a battle you can't win
Even tough times have their end within
If you resist and hold your ground there's light
But it's not for all make sure it's your fight

How hard it is to grow and stand
Relying only on your hand
A whole wide world you've got to face
Maybe with luck you'll find some grace
