I've been waiting on the sunset 
Bills on my mindset 
I can get deny they're getting high 
Higher than my income 
My income's breadcrumbs 
I've been trying to survive 

On accumule les problèmes 
Accuser la vie comme elle 
Essaye d'ouvrir les yeux 
Même si je suis là c'est
Ce n'est qu'un cap à passer 
Demain tout ira mieux 
Oh, you'll turn out fine fine 
Oh, you'll turn out fine 

But you gotta keep your head up, oh
And you can let your hair down, eh
You gotta keep your head up, oh
And you can let your hair down, eh 

Il n'est jamais trop tard
Pour y croire
Et faire les bons choix
Commence par relever la tête, oh
Ne jamais baisser les bras

Eh, je n'ai pas le cœur à m'emballer
Faut pas s'laisser aller
Malgré les galères et les angoisses
Car j'ai l'moral à zéro
Ne pas envie d'en faire trop 
J'attends toujours que le temps passe 

I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled 
I start to compromise 
My life and the purpose 
Is it all worth it, 
Am I gonna turn out fine? 
Oh, you'll turn out fine 
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine 

But you gotta keep your head up, oh
And you can let your hair down, eh 
You gotta keep your head up, oh
And you can let your hair down, eh 

Il n'est jamais trop tard
Pour y croire
Et faire les bons choix
Commence par relever la tête, oh 
Ne jamais baisser les bras, eh

Only rainbows after rain 
The sun will always come again
Its a circle, circling
Around again, it comes around again 

Même si la vie n'est pas rose
On pourra faire bouger les choses
Et rien ne nous arrêtera
Car tu verra, et je suis près de toi 

Commence par relever la tête, oh
Ne jamais baisser les bras, eh
Commence par relever la tête, oh
Ne jamais baisser les bras, eh
Il n'est jamais trop tard
Pour y croire
Et faire les bons choix
Commence par relever la tête, oh
Ne jamais baisser les bras, eh 

Keep your head up, oh, 
Lèves la tête 
And you can let your hair down, eh 
Et ne baisse jamais les bras 
Keep your head up, oh
Lèves la tête 
And you can let your hair down, eh
Et ne baisse pas les bras 
Lèves la tête 
Lèves la tête 
Ne baisse jamais les bras 
Ne baisse jamais les bras
