lyrics

It ain't easy for the kids these days
Life gets sort of crazy like a great big maze
So if you get discouraged when things get rough
Remember you have courage and that you're tough

Cuz you're jumping through hoops, hanging on for the ride
It might get sort of bumpy but you'll come out the other side
Jumping through hoops, hanging on for the ride
It might get sort of bumpy but you'll come out the other side

You know your feelings are important and true
Sometimes you're mad and sometimes you're blue.
When things are going well you may feel glad
When things fall apart, it's okay to feel sad.

Cuz you're jumping through hoops, hanging on for the ride
It might get sort of bumpy but you'll come out the other side
Jumping through hoops, hanging on for the ride
It might get sort of bumpy but you'll come out the other side

Worrying about things can be such a struggle
Worries stick around and put you in a muddle.
But worries don't change what was said and done,
And it seems real clear, worries take away the fun

Cuz you're jumping through hoops, hanging on for the ride
It might get sort of bumpy but you'll come out the other side
Jumping through hoops, hanging on for the ride
It might get sort of bumpy but you'll come out the other side

Relaxing and breathing can help you deal
With worries and sadness and emotions you feel.
Respect your feelings and see that they're there
Let them come out to someone who'll care.

Cuz you're jumping through hoops, hanging on for the ride
It might get sort of bumpy but you'll come out the other side
Jumping through hoops, hanging on for the ride
It might get sort of bumpy but you'll come out the other side
