Burn the Candle At Both Ends

Burn the candle at both ends, Using the fire deep inside; The desire to do the task Is ignited far and wide. To live at a hectic pace Is just having a hard time; The volume of the duty Is like a mountain to climb. Long hours work without rest Makes us real vulnerable; Both body and mind may be Exposed or susceptible. Working late into the night Shows earnest, zeal, and ardor; Starting early in the morn Even validates vigor. Let's serve God with all our might, From dawn till the sun descends; Every moment of our lives, Burn the candle at both ends.
