Story Behind The Song
This song was written as a form of encouragement and inspiration-to push forward and do your best despite naysayers and difficult circumstances. It is about striving to be your best and embracing change. Though we never mention him specifically in the song we wrote it for quarterback Aaron Rodgers in his first season as a starter for the Green Bay Packers. We had a feeling that if he could just make it though is rough first season and the drama surrounding Brett Favre that he would go on to greatness! This song is about that transition.

Lyrics
They're telling you your window of opportunity is closing
And I don't know which way you should go but I see that your bright light's growing
Don't you see it will all go your way don't you stop trying
'Cause your hands are too full to carry the weight of our fate
Win some
Lose some
Pick yourself up and start again
Live it up
Don't give it up
'Cause I'm sure it's all been said before
Sometimes it feels like there's nobody listening but waiting compels me to say what I have to say
'Cause you're going away
And I, I don't want to see you fade away
Win some
Lose some
Pick yourself up and start again
Live it up
Don't give it up
I'm sure it's all been said before
Sometimes it feels like there's nobody listening but waiting compels me to say what I have to say
And you're going away
And I, I don't want to see you fade away
So grow up
Grow up
Despite what society says
So grow up
Grow up
I dare you to tempt your fate
I know time seems to drift away
And if it's not for yourself then just start with some honesty
You can still enjoy the journey
