Earn it
“It takes work”
Stepping up and falling down
I won’t lose hope
Because we earned our crown
Pushing forward I won’t go down
I have faith with you
I crowned you before, then wore down
The way you speak
The way you listen
You earned our crown
Listening to you
Speaking your heart true
I was there when you were down
Listening to me
I made mistakes with you
You held our crown
I’m ready to make it up to you
I can’t promise to be perfect
Together we share a crown
Though with you I’ll never break down
-CWH-
