Don'T Quit
When life goes wrong
And the waves are strong;
Be tough and come along
Move and live lifelong.
When the road gets long
And the pain is prolong;
Just hold on to get along
For this is where you belong.
When the source is low
And the debts start to blow;
Pride you need to swallow
For you have dreams to follow.
When little smiles glow
And the sighs over flow
Just rest! If you follow
But don't quit for you to grow.
When failures turn about
And faces start to pout;
Then pray and call out
Feeling you need to shout.
When the chances sprout
And you stuck it out;
Don't quit and cry out
But continue trying it out.
When successes turn inside out
And the medals are in doubt;
Be firm like a scout
And continue hammering out.
When golden crown walks out
And slips it out;
Just stick to fight it out
For you not to be knocked out
When the goal is nearer
And the struggle is clearer;
It's time to hear
The name you bear.
When the wins are queerer
And the victor's cup is here!
Just smile and cheer
For this is what you adhere.
