I'm writing you this letter
‘Cause I’ve walked in your shoes
I hope that you will read this
When you’re feeling confused

The hardest part of high school
Is living in between
The person you’re becoming
And the kid you used to be

Dizzy from highs and lows
You can’t see which way to go
I’ve been there too
Here’s what you do

Be kind
Be strong
Believe
You belong
Love God
Work hard
Just be who you are

You want to feel important
But don’t be fooled by fame
‘Cause everyone who loves you
Already knows your name

And when you have a house someday
There won’t be trophies on display
There’s so much more
Worth living for

Be kind
Be strong
Believe
You belong
Love God
Work hard
Just be who you are

Let go of the last times
Celebrate the first times
And keep your heart wide open

Be kind
Be strong
Believe
You belong
Forgive
Yourself
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
Love God
Work hard
Just be who you are
