Don'T Give Up

Life is not smooth-sailing
With bells always ringing
It has its own ups and downs
And its smiles and frowns.

Not all days are sunny and bright
Few things are achieved overnight
To attain what is good and right
You need to struggle with your might

When things turn out wrong
Don’t think all is gone
When things become rough
It’s time you turn tough

There is no success without failure
Hardship and pain you’ve to endure
When you fall or get hit
Do not give up or quit

There is no success without failure
Hardship and pain you’ve to endure
When you fall or get hit
Do not give up or quit
