Streaks

Seven years old with a brand-new coloring book

Every page with the perfect design

You can decide on the colors that you like

As long as you stay in the lines

Tell me what did you learn at school today

Did they show you what you're worth in numbers and signs

You can read every word you can solve every equation a hundred times

Just to wonder what comes next, oh

All these years of filling out papers

Building a future, keeping your head down

Tryin’ to keep a head on your shoulders, keep it creative, make it your own somehow

Cause It's all a piece of the plan

It's something You'll understand

When you're older

The day the leave and it's all before your feet

You've heard all the tips and the tricks

So you hum to a tune singing you'll figure it out soon

You're a smart kid, tough kid, but you're still a kid that grew

Throw em in the water

They will sink or float

If you don't then you will never know

Throw em in the water

They could sink or float

But unless you let it happen, you will never know

Throw em in the water

Let them sink or float

Give em what they need to move on, then you let them go

Throw em in the water

They will sink or float
