Chin Up

It's Not The End of The World
Just Because You Can't Seem to Win
Tomorrow's Another Day
And Time Will Help You Mend

The Good Things Are Not Easy
They're Tough And Hard to Get
So Don't Pretend or Lie
And Don't Give up or Quit

Be Just Who You Are
Stand up Straight And Tall
Believe in What You Do
And Let it Be Known by All

Let Them See You Fight
And Let Them Know You Care
But Don't Sell Yourself Short
And Always Be Honest and Fair

File These Things Away in Your Mind
And Remember These Words I Speak
They're From Me to You..
To Help You Be Strong and Not Be Weak
