turning 25
Good Charlotte- Movin’ On
When I think about my life
I wonder if I will survive
To live to see 25 or will I just fall?
Like all my friends, they just keep dying.
People round me, always crying.
In this place that I like to call my home.
Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place
Not everybody knows that everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come, and we’ll keep moving on.
We’re moving on.
Keep moving on
Life.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.
Faith.
Pride.
Love.
Lust.
On without the things we’ve lost but things we’ve gained we’ll take with us.
And all I’ve got are these two hands to make myself a better man
I wonder if I’ll ever see the end of this
With all this rain it just keeps falling
On my head and now I’m calling
Out to someone else to help me make it through
Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place
Not everybody knows that everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come, and we’ll keep moving on.
We’re moving on.
Keep moving on
Life.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.
Faith.
Pride.
Love.
Lust.
Pain.
Hate.
Lies.
Guilt.
Laugh.
Cry.
Live.
Die.
Some friends become enemies some friends become your family
Make the best with what you’re givin
This ain’t dying this is livin
Said were movin on and we’ve got nothin to prove
To anyone
Cause we’ll get through
Were movin on and on and on and on and on and on and on….
Keep movin on
Life.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.
Faith.
Pride.
Love.
Lust.
Pain.
Hate.
Lies.
Guilt.
Laugh.
Cry.
Live.
Die.
Some friends become enemies some friends become your family
Make the best with what you’re givin
This ain’t dying! this is livin!
I remember listening to this song when I was a kid and wondering what life would be like at 25. It was released 12 years ago in 2000 when I was just 13 years old. A lot has changed since then. My plans have changed numerous times and the life I thought I wanted to be living by this point is so different from the life I live and love now. it’s my life and I made it almost completely on my own and I’m so proud of that. It has been a roller coaster and I am thankful for the ride. All of the twists, turns, ups, and downs have made me the person I am today and I wouldn’t give any of it up. It was all part of a ride that is nowhere near over. I can’t wait to see what the next 12 years have in store and the 12 after that. I’m happy, healthy, and a lot more wise. So today I’m going to raise the glass to the thrill of the ride, to turning 25, to the friends that got me here, and to looking forward what ever is next.
And of course because I made it!
