Remember how you used to say You couldn't wait till tomorrow for a brand new day and No fuss when ya had to ride the bus You just add a little blush To paralyze your school crush
Now you're older and the weight is on your shoulder Make the world a little colder No more hidin in the old day Be strong Don't you give up hope It will get hard Life's like a jump rope
Up - down Up - down Up - down Up - down Yeah! Cause it will get hard Remember life's like a jump rope
Up - down Up - down Up - down Up - down Yeah! It will get hard Cause it will get hard
There'll be a bump and there will be a bruise There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze There'll be a path that you will have to choose There'll be a win and there will be a lose and
You gotta hold your head up high and Watch all the negative go by Don't ever be ashamed to cry You go ahead Cause life's like a jump rope
Up - down Up - down Up - down Up - down Yeah! It will get hard Remember life's like a jump rope
Up - down Up - down Up - down Up - down Yeah! It will get hard Come on
I want to tell you that everything will be okay That everything will eventually turn itself to gold So keep pushing through it all Don't follow, lead the way Don't lose yourself or your hope Cause life's like a jump rope
Up - down Up - down Up - down Up - down Yeah!
You stomp your feet so hard you make it pound Raise the bottom to the top And now we're never coming down
Up down stomp your feet spin around Clap hands to the rhythm Then you slip down
You stomp your feet so hard you make it pound Raise the bottom to the top And now we're never coming down
Up - down Up - down Up - down Up - down Yeah! It will get hard Remember life's like a jump rope
Up - down Up - down Up - down Up - down Yeah! It will get hard Cause it will get hard
Up - down Up - down Up - down Up - down Yeah! Life's like a jump rope
