LAST SONG I'LL EVER WRITE - Jax Anderson

You gotta get up

You gotta be strong for love

When it all seems lost

And the roads uneven

You gotta be tough

Give it all you got

Hope will come

Just keep breathing

If this is the last song that I’ll ever write

I’ll write it with tears in my eyes

Fingers pointed to the sky

Straight to the savior that my nephews pray to at night

And tell them that everything’s gonna be OK

The only thing that matters is people

And if your mind’s alright

It’s OK to cry

If you’re happy or you’re sad or you’re feeling someone else’s pain

And the world’s gonna tell you that you should consume

But you won’t feel better with those Gucci shoes

Listen to the voice that’s inside of you

It’s a compass without a face

I’d tell them learn to paint

Cause sometimes art can speak louder than your words can say

And when you get knocked down

Cause you’ll get knocked down

You gotta get up

You gotta be strong for love

When it all seems lost and the roads uneven

You gotta be tough

Give it all you’ve got

Hope will come

Just keep breathing

I tell them the Internet doesn’t matter

Don’t listen to the nosebleed chatter

That voice inside your head

Won’t always be your friend

But you’re not defined by it

I’d tell them that the keys to Heaven

Isn’t the love of a kind woman

But that helps a little

It’s through discipline

And kind acts

I tell them to just relax

And just breathe a little

I tell Monroe Grace

These all apply to her just the same

My God she’s so brave

And I hope that she stays brave

Because this world will try to tell her to be small

And I hope she doesn’t listen

I’d tell her not to listen

And when she falls

You gotta get up

You gotta be strong for love

When it all seems lost and the road’s uneven

You gotta be tough

Give it all you’ve got

Hope will come

Just keep breathing

I tell them to see the sunrise in Sydney

That Lake Michigan is the most beautiful in February

I tell them to jump out of an airplane at some point

Even if your mama says you’re crazy

And this world can be hard

And it won’t always make sense

But I’d look them in the eyes and tell them that

Happiness does exist
