Watch me try to stand steady
Like a bird in a hurricane
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown

[Chorus]
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a flame in the pouring rain
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a bird in a hurricane
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
[Outro]
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
Watch me try
