Verse              Don’t have to like it to be grateful for it

                        No one can blame you if you choose to have grit

                        No harm complaining if you get over it

                        Commit

Chorus           Gotta be clear, Gotta be calm

                        Gotta dump fear, Gotta hold on

                        Gotta be fierce, Gotta be strong

                        Gotta stay weird, Gotta move on

Verse              Got what I prayed for and the tears overflowed

                        Another debt was paid that only I owed

                        Filled up with gratitude to carry the load

                        Bestowed

Chorus           Gotta be clear, Gotta be calm

                        Gotta dump fear, Gotta hold on

                        Gotta be fierce, Gotta be strong

                        Gotta stay weird, Gotta move on

Bridge            Losing all perspective, lie awake at night

                        But I’ll learn, I’ll learn

                        Twisted in my bedclothes, putting up a fight

                        But I’ll learn, I’ll learn

Verse              To live my life right is to have no regret

                        Some paths unchosen are not closed to me yet

                        As long as love compels me I won’t forget

                        Not yet

Chorus           Gotta be clear, Gotta be calm

                        Gotta dump fear, Gotta hold on

                        Gotta be fierce, Gotta be strong

                        Gotta stay weird, Gotta move on

                        Hold on
