## Lyrics

Feeling new in town

Pushed around

The pressure pressing in

Took a leap of faith

To keep pace

And took one on the chin

And on and on it goes...

Runnin' low on luck

Then life dunks

On you and cranks the heat

Trying to keep up

And it sucks

but you will find your feet

Brother don't you, don't give up now

Chin up now I am here to help you out

(I just want you to know, I got your back here, bro)

I got love for you brother and I'm proud of you

Always rolling with the punches and pushing on through

Now don't you ever forget every time we fail once more we must try

Because beyond every dark cloud there is a bright blue sky

Trying to go with the flow

But you know

That the tide's coming in

Working to the bone

Feeling low

When you just need a win

Ooh, don't you let it get under your skin (c'mon now)

Sister don't you, don't give up now

Chin up now I am here to help you out

(When you need a hand let me know, I'm here and ready to go)

I got love for you sister and I'm proud of you

Always rolling with the punches and pushing on through

Now don't you ever forget every time we fail once more we must try

Because beyond every dark cloud there is a bright blue sky

Bright blue sky...

Blue sky...

(Let's go) It ain't been easy, but I'm proud of you

Always rolling with the punches and pushing on through

Now don't you ever forget every time we fail once more we must try

Because beyond every dark cloud there is a bright blue

### Synopsis

TWRP performs in a large industrial room while engineers monitor several scientific-looking devices. When a tall and narrow monolith in the room begins to glow red, the engineers scramble to fix it. One engineer tries to unplug a cable but has his wrist slapped by Doctor Sung. The engineer finds a cable that was disconnected and plugs it back in, resolving the crisis. TWRP's performance continues unhindered.
