lyrics

This is for the rocks
This is for the teachers
This is for the coaches
This is for the parents

This is for all the true believers
They say every blade of grass has
A tiny little angel
Whisperin in its ear
Sayin
Grow, grow

I wonder who that was
Whisperin in my ear
When I felt like a tiny grain of sand
In this ocean of people
Wonderin why
Why didn’t God make me special
Didn’t give me a gift like Lebron
Dedication of The Rock
Or savvy like Jobs
Coulda thrown me a bone
With a high metabolism
Or a perfect pitch ear
But naw .....
Instead he gave me
The gift of Bipolar
The challenge of depression
A mathematical brain
With a creative passion
The willingness to fall on my face
over and over and over and still get back up

Yes, yes that’s somethin
I’ll take it in heartbeat
Wouldn’t trade ya for a minute
Every next second is a blessing if I take it
We don’t all make it
It’s not your fault
You can lead the horse
But on his own, he’s gotta drink it

This is for all / the people in my life
You saw that I was down
But you didn’t give up
Now I’m handlin the rock
Thank you for showin up

When I was swimmin in quicksand
You were my rock
I was searchin for meaning
In this world of sin
Didn’t wanna give up / but why begin

You were there like a rock
When I was blowin in the wind

From the bottom of my heart
Tears streamin down my face
I just gotta say, thank you
Thank you my teachers
Thank you mom, thank you dad
Thank you all my coaches and everyday believers
Family and friends with encouraging words
Yeah I know I made a lotta mistakes
But every second that passed
Gives me, gives me a new chance
Now this aint about money, status or fame
I wanna do what I love, wanna spread my message
Open up the skies
Like tears from heaven

This is for all / the people in my life
You saw that I was down
But you didn’t give up
Now I’m handlin the rock
Thank you for showin up

When I was swimmin in quicksand
You were my rock
I was searchin for meaning
In this world of sin
Didn’t wanna give up / but why begin
You were there like a rock
When I was blowin in the wind
