In Front of the World Lyrics
Well, it’s hard to live in front of the world
There’s only so much that you can pretend
Write down what it is you’re thinking
Take each day as it comes
You never know what’s hanging ‘round the bend
And as far from the world as we get,
I can swear that the two of us will always be the same
Figure out what it is you believe in
And if you must choose, try not to trade your fortune in for fame
And you’ll learn, learn, learn
You’ll wait your turn, turn, turn
And you’ll get sick on the way
By the things that people say
It’ll break your heart against the wind
But you will just keep breathing in
Well, if you’re scared to live in front of the world
I’ve got news for you, you should be then
When your confidence gets low and you’ve got nowhere to go
Just remember how you felt about me and our friends
And we’ll learn, learn, learn
We’ll wait our turn, turn, turn
And we’ll get sick on the way
By the things that people say
It’ll break our hearts against the wind
But we will just keep breathing in
Watch the way you fall in love
‘Cause if you’re smart, you’ll take it slow
And don’t ask me about it, cause I don’t know
‘cause I don’t know, know, know
But I’m gonna learn, learn, learn
I’ll take my turn, turn, turn
If I get sick on the way
By the things that people say
It’ll break my heart against the wind
But I will just keep breathing in
There’s only so much that you can pretend
Write down what it is you’re thinking
Take each day as it comes
You never know what’s hanging ‘round the bend
And as far from the world as we get,
I can swear that the two of us will always be the same
Figure out what it is you believe in
And if you must choose, try not to trade your fortune in for fame
You’ll wait your turn, turn, turn
And you’ll get sick on the way
By the things that people say
It’ll break your heart against the wind
But you will just keep breathing in
I’ve got news for you, you should be then
When your confidence gets low and you’ve got nowhere to go
Just remember how you felt about me and our friends
We’ll wait our turn, turn, turn
And we’ll get sick on the way
By the things that people say
It’ll break our hearts against the wind
But we will just keep breathing in
‘Cause if you’re smart, you’ll take it slow
And don’t ask me about it, cause I don’t know
‘cause I don’t know, know, know
I’ll take my turn, turn, turn
If I get sick on the way
By the things that people say
It’ll break my heart against the wind
But I will just keep breathing in

This is a song about getting through life, taking it day by day, never taking yourself too serious, not letting fear take over your life and knowing that your friends will always be there.
Its such a good song about never giving up on yourself and on life.
Stephen wrote this song for his little brother when he graduated (either from high school or college, I forget). It's his advice to him about life.
