"9 Lessons" lyrics

Lesson one
When you love, love fiercely
And if you're gonna talk
Then you better speak clearly
And always try to live
As if you're gonna die tonight
'Cause people come along in your life like seasons
If you're wrong then be wrong for all the right reasons
I'm tryin' to walk the line
But I'm a little lost tonight

There's nine lessons I learned in life
Oh, brother I make you proud
Oh, brother I need you now

You know you gotta fight, so I suffer in silence
When the pressure and the weight is how we make diamonds
And you're already hurt
So go ahead and make it worth it
'Cause nothing in life will ever last forever
A moment in time is all we have together
No prayer can repair that I'm terrified
I will see your face when I reach those lights
Stand me up straight, help me brave my fight
'Cause I'm all out of faith tonight

And now I need nine lessons I've learned in life
Oh, brother I make you proud
Oh, brother I need you now (brother I need you now)
Yeah, yeah
Tonight (tonight)
I'm scared I might lose my mind (mind)
I'm slipping, I'm half way down (down, down)
Oh, brother I need you now (brother I need you now)

Woah, woah, woah, oh no no, mhh

Lesson one when you love, love fiercely
And if you're gonna talk then you better speak clearly
And always try to live
As if you're gonna die tonight
