Challenges

Trying so hard to do right
Sometimes it is a real fight
There are days I just want to do nothing
But it is best to do something
I am so ready for things to work out
Figure out what this life is really about
Not going to let things get me down
To my sin no longer bound
Though still sometimes I fail
Sometimes you just have to let the ship sail
Lost so much in my years
Shed countless tears
Not going to be discouraged for any reason
Pain sometimes lasts for a season
Can make it through so many things
Looking to see what the next day brings
