Everyone that heard Nick sing this would come up to me and say, "Man, that is pretty dark for a 10 year-old". I didn't really see it that way, but I could see their point. I always like this song as I felt it was a way for me to explain to the kids that life is hard, but be yourself, not someone else and everything will be fine. I guess truth be told, the world is dark and I'd rather they get it now then when they are twenty.

Lyrics

As You Face the World

Follow them if you have to
But don’t loose your voice

I pray everyday that
All this makes sense

There’s a lot we don’t understand
The world’s a tricky place
And there’s only so much I can tell you

You will lose the innocence
in your eyes

And they will try to blind you
Take your sight

There’s a lot we don’t understand
The world’s a tricky place
And there’s only so much I can tell you

Follow them if you have to
But don’t loose your voice

I pray everyday that
All this makes sense

There’s a lot we don’t understand
The world’s a tricky place
And there’s only so much I can tell you
