Fight with Yourself

Life is about fighting for the love of yourself. 
Remember what you learned as a teenager 
Take aim at your body and mind to fight  
Follow the lessons from parents and teachers

When you have a career, be prepared to fight 
Even day and night without becoming weary 
Whether they are hard or huge, tedious or tough 
Finish a great job to bestow upon your country

In middle age, you carry the burden of struggle 
Eliminate evil thoughts and self-centeredness 
Dispel delusions, ignorance, iniquity and anger 
Surely break down while fortifying goodness

Even though, as you enter your golden years, 
Keep your body and mind strong and smooth 
Fight down against any weakness and laziness  
Fight! Fight for morality by speaking the truth
