Circumstances of Life

When circumstances of life knocks you down
Don't just lie there, stand up and dust yourself
'Cause the more you stand up and face your challenges
The better your chances of overcoming them

When circumstances of life knocks you down
Don't just give up, stand up and keep going
'Cause the more you refuse to give in to failure
The better your chances of succeeding in life

When circumstances of life knocks you down
Don't just quit and throw in the towel
'Cause the earlier you base your life on no retreat no surrender
The better your chances of achieving your heart desires.
