Jordan Khan - Next Chapter: Prologue lyrics

In life you are constantly
Changing and moving
Forward… it could be from one
Grade to another or one age to
Another whatever chapter
Of life you are in you
Are always changing throughout life we take
Many chances… some help us rise
To new heights… others are only
Cool until, like a tattoo
They start to fade fade until eventually the
Memory of what used to be remains
We try to fit in with others and
Follow trends even if we ourselves have
Zero interest in the trend the reasoning
Behind the choice to follow everyone
Is clouded by fear of being labeled as
An "outcast" we surround ourselves with
So many people without question why? Maybe
We think that being popular or
Cool is more important than being real maybe
We think that being raised on a
Pedestal like a god would be the
Best feeling in the world… it’s
Not the truth is we have to learn
To rise up from the ashes
Rather than drown in them you’re going
To get stabbed in the
Back a few times you will lose people
Along your journey people aren’t always who
They say they are we all wear
Masks to cover our scars in
The end you have to surround yourself with
People who build you up rather
Than tear you down people who stay
For all the cuts and bruises
People who love you for who you are
Regardless of your differences people who
Help you create a safe environment where
You can all show the real
You no matter the backstory
It’s perfectly fine
To be yourself… it’s perfectly fine
To be imperfect stop listening to everyone
Telling you who you are
Own your narrative break the
Chains don’t let the
Setbacks sidetrack you stay true to who
You are you are the main character of
Your narrative while also
A supporting character
"extra" in someone else’s
This isn’t necessarily
A bad thing sometimes it’s beneficial
To be able to take a step
Back and breathe take a
Step back and reevaluate if this is
The right place to be
No matter how much history you
May have with one another
Sometimes you make mistakes
And there’s nothing
Wrong with that you grow from
Them those memories create a prologue
For what comes next in
Your story… they don't disappear you carry
Them around with you your
Entire life but it helps you
Grow into a wiser person
It leads you into the Next Chapter
