Fight 'Em Tooth and Nail
Upset and strife are a part of life
It's so damn easy to fail
To let life's problems drag you down
Stead of fighting 'em tooth and nail
Look on the bright side every day
Troubles will appear less dour
Ugliness that tries to rear its head
Is replaced by pretty pink flowers
Those who've always known this truth
Are aware it's really not new
Been around since the beginning of time
A concept both tried and true
Hope I don't sound like a “know-it-all”
But after a whole bunch of years
Certain truths are quite evident to me
We really have nothing to fear
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
For eons it's been going on
Take heart my cherished Souper friends
You'll be watching from Heaven 'ere long
