Be Strong And Hit Stuff

(album: RWBY, Vol. 8 - 2021)

Ooh
Ooh, woah

No one's gonna break your heart but you
No one in this world is ever gonna have the strength it takes
The force to make the power to take you down
Ain't nobody doubting you but you
Ain't nobody who don't believe in your greatness
We see what your fate is

You're on your way
It's tough to see, but you're more every day
The waiting is hard
All of the pain you've faced is no disgrace
You're made from all those scars

It's okay
In time, you will grow
But that doesn't mean
You're not already whole
Mistakes that you've made will stay in the past
Redemption is yours if you follow that path
Oh, just hold on, stay tough
Be strong and hit stuff

Picture if you can a younger you
Think of how that little soul would feel if they could see you
There's no doubt their jaw would drop and say, "Oh, wow"
You're more than you had ever dreamed you'd be
But sometimes we get caught in the trap where we can't see
Our own strength and beauty

We're led astray
We're cruel to ourselves, and the glow fades away
All we see is what we're not
Why do we fill our heads with doubt instead of joy
For all we've got?

There's no need to wish upon a star
Just open your eyes to who you are
The path to yourself is never clear
When you're lost, you're growing, have no fear
You reappear and rise up from your darkest day
Look at yourself and say

It's okay
In time, you will grow
But that doesn't mean
You're not already whole
Mistakes that you've made will stay in the past
Redemption is yours if you follow that path
Oh, just hold on, stay tough
Be strong and hit stuff
