Keep On

It's hard to climb the mountains If you've never walked on plains, It's hard to swim the oceans If you've never walked in rain. You can never be the president If you've never swept a floor, You won't be first in line If you're the last one at the door. If you've never opened up a book Or read you're daily news, You'd better sit in silence And not present your views. So if your world is folding Falling all apart, Did you give it all you had, Did you try with all your heart? The maid within the castle Can never be the queen But the work she does within By many will be seen. And the lowest paid employee Who feels so very lost Should never give up faith, That someday she'll be boss.
