No matter how far you sink down
No matter how deep the frown,
When others around you begin to fall
Elude the grip of society’s eight ball,
If you can make it thru the night alone
No friends to talk to on the phone.
No matter what you have to shout,
To the world, to you “I WILL MAKE OUT”
“I WILL CLIMB THE MOUTAIN OF LIFE
I WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO THE SEA OF STRIFE”.
Mirror mirror on the wall look at you reflection
You can do it you can achieve life’s perfection,
The path before you stretches far and long
Thru fire and rain remember your song,
No matter what when tree’s fall at your feet
Look adversity in the face and sing your song to greet,
“I can do it, I will do it no matter what.. I want to taste.
No matter what I will wrap happiness in lace and
I will wear it forever on my face
With a smile..................for it is infectious
For those that are down...... tied with a frown'.
