Keep your chin up mate, there's a lot to do
Plenty of shit like this is gonna happen to you
You gotta harden your shell, it's a part of life
One day you'll have some kids and a beautiful wife
And when she smiles at you, you'll do all you can
To keep it together, do your absolute best
Sometimes it won't be enough and that's just life
I know you got some trouble stemming from your old man
But he probably did his best with the tools that he had
And if it wasn't enough, it is what it is
You can try to do better when you raise your own kids
The emptiness you're feeling deep down inside
May never go away, at least it's gonna take time
You gotta learn where to put it, it's a part of life
Don't let it wreak havoc on the rest of your time
You were raised in a culture said "She'll be right mate"
You gotta push it all down inside and shut the bloody gate
Sometimes it's gonna be tough but that's just life
ย
Go out there and get it, do what you can
Hang out with some hippies, maybe get yourself a van
Strip away the layers, expand your mind
Identify your weaknesses, take that time
But don't lose yourself or become obsessed
With your own healing journey and sacrifice the rest
'Cause there's people who love you outside of your mind
And all we really have is that gift of time
ย
By now those boys have forgotten your face
And I'll never understand why you'd want it that way
Kids are only kids for a very short time
From there they'll keep you guessing
If they'll want you in their lives
If you've made mistakes, don't make 'em twice
Be sure to fight to keep the little people by your side
So many stories through history of people who use
Unimaginable circumstances, turn 'em into fuel
Good luck little mate, have a good crack
Keep your head down, your bum up and don't look back
Do a bit of running or surfing just might
Help to clear your head in those times of strife
ย
But there's one more thing to say before I go
And I know it's been said before and it's widely known
But love truly is the answer, it's a part of life
It can heal the deepest wounds and keep us inspired
Is karma real? Well nobody knows
But there's one more little thing I'd like to say before I go
Take good care of the planet, treat it with respect
It will be there for your family when you're dead
ย
And it's a part of life
It's a part of life
It's a part of life
It's a part of life
Hey
ย
I want to make sure that you all understand that each and every one
Of you has a role to play. And you are here for a reason. I want
You to know that whether or not you find that role that you're
Supposed to play, your life does matter. And that
Every single day you live, you make a difference. We
Are part of the natural world. And even today when the
Planet is dark, there still is hope. Don't lose hope
And it's a part of life
It's a part of life
ย
I just hope that you understand that this life on planet Earth
Isn't the end. I believe, now I know, that there is life beyond
Death, that consciousness survives. I can't tell you what you
Will find when you leave planet Earth. But I want you to know that
Your life on planet Earth will make some difference in the kind
Of life that you find after you die. We are part of Mother Nature
ย
We have to do everything in our power to make the world a better
Place for the children alive today and for those that will follow
You have it in your power to make a difference. Don't give up
Do your best while you're still on this beautiful planet Earth
