Don’t worry child that fire won’t burn you
It’ll light you up when the going’s tough
And I know the sadness overwhelms you
But you’ll understand it soon enough

And it’s allowed to feel hard
Just look at where you are
And where you came from
Where you are
And where you came from

And all the things that made you feel different
Are gonna grow to be your wings
All the years staring at the distance
All the time spent praying for your dreams
Paved the way
Paved the way
Your dreaming paved the way
For a better day

Sing your songs
Don’t over explain yourself
You don’t have to be everything to everyone
Break the rules
Never cry over school
You’ve got everything you need
Everything already inside

Don’t worry child that anger protects you
But you won’t always need your armor
And I know they weren’t around
But even when you’re lost you are found
And you can lift yourself up when you’re down
You can wear your own crown, honey
You can wear your own crown, honey
It’s allowed

And all the things that made you feel different
Are gonna grow to be your wings
All the years staring at the distance
All the time spent praying for your dreams
Paved the way
Paved the way
Your dreaming paved the way
For a better day
