about

Never let them get you down.

The story of a young individual plagued by misfortune but refuses to let them best her.

lyrics

Walk tall but don't you think about the morrow,
You stop dead still like your head is full of sorrow.
But that can't be the case,
Cause you're life, it isn't a waste.

Your arms come down, no you don't have no answers.
Your feet buckle up, no you where never no dancer.
Your hands scream at you; what can these measly things do?

Well they can hold us up and they can lay us down,
They're never going to spin us around the wrong way.
Well at least today; they provide me with the chance to give my love to you,
And indeed I do.

This summer's day.

Carry on, no you don't need no reason,
You hold your head high
And walk into the legion that lie in your wake,
I wonder how much you can take.

They say your name, and you don't give no answer,
You've always hated them, they mistook you for a chancer.
Well now is your chance,
Show them that ten dollar glance.

So they can jeer at us, and call us names,
but they'll never know that we feel the same way about them,
And that we condemn, being near them it's a sign that we fear them.
But maybe, by the end of the day, they can provide me with,
The chance to give my love to you, and indeed I do.

This summer's day.
This summer's day.
