Searching my mind for something to say
Thinking deeply about what to express
The sun's coming up from a three state drive
After traveling through three states, dawn is approaching
14,000 miles and nothing less than sympathy
After an extensive journey, all that remains is compassion
I know we'll make it, I know we'll survive
Confident that they will overcome any obstacles
Some might say we'll amount to nothing
Some people believe that they will not achieve anything significant
But hey man, Let me tell you something
However, they have a message to convey
Atleast we're still fighting for something we really believe
They are determined to keep striving for what they believe in
And I know that I can go on and on and on
The will to persist is strong
So let it be known, We're young, We're strong, We're stuck together forever
They make a declaration of unity that will endure
And let it be me who takes you to the water's edge
The artist is offering to guide the rest of the group
Forever family!! We're one, We're young, And we're together
Acknowledging that they are a tight-knit group that will persist for eternity
Staring out the window on the west side of Cleveland
Gazing out of the window on the west side of Cleveland
The glass girl comes, You know we got to beat 'em
A reference to a rival group they must surpass
Another cup of coffee to get us through this mess
Drinking coffee to help them push through a difficult situation
I still remember you in the red dress
Reflecting on a nostalgic memory
Searching my mind for something to say
Contemplating on what to express
The sun's coming up from a three state drive
Dawn is approaching after crossing three states
14,000 miles and nothing less than sympathy
After a long journey, only empathy remains
I know we'll make it, I know we'll survive!
Confident that they will endure and thrive
So let it be known, We're young, We're strong, We're stuck together forever
Uniting and announcing their collective strength
And let it be me who takes you to the water's edge
Offering guidance to the group
Forever family!! We're young, We're strong, And we're together
Reinforcing their unity and determination to prevail for eternity
