Lyrics (tweaked):
You were a child
Crawling on your knees forward
Making Mama so proud
Standing out from the crowd
We like to see you thriving
You pay attention in class
No time to think of what you’re missing
[Chorus:]
Control yourself
Don’t lose sight of the real problems
This family needs spirit, you are wanted
Control yourself
You’re not alone in these hallways
This family’s a team, striving to be someone
The water is warm
Take a moment, reach outward
No baby is born
With his name on a placard
We all give and take
The answer’s in the breeze, learn it
And in the end decisions are made and not bought
So go forth with confidence, show what you’ve got
