Song Lyrics


CHORUS

I won’t give up, I won’t give in,
This isn’t how my story ends,
When troubles come I’ll try again,
I’ll use my wits and stick close to my friends.

VERSE 1

Struggling with math skills, competing in soccer,
Trying to learn to crochet,
Leveling up in Halo or Fortnite,
Dealing with siblings all day [No way!]


VERSE 2

Speaking in front of hundreds of people,
Running away from a dog,
Using a protractor, memorizing a speech,
Now there’s State Testing, what a slog!
