I can’t ever think of giving up, Giving in to defeat, overcome by the load, Overwhelmed and overthrown – Doubting my own worth, my own strength, The vigor that comes from believing Even when in doubt, I can make it through, Find the courage and audacity to kill Every dread, every doubt, every despair With the assurance that I have what it takes – I have the skill to beat all the odds I have the vigor to seize the moment I have the ability to prove my worth I can’t ever think of giving up, Losing my confidence, hitting that rock solid Enemy – the darkest war betraying me With its fears, unleashed by the weariness The exhaustion that I’m feeling because I’ve been Fighting a heavy load with every effort, Exerting all that I have to show the world… Oh, yes, I can – I can make it to the end, Victorious and sure that I will always be able, Proficient, able to struggle through – Even when darkness so gloomy, falls all around Even with overcast skies, I know that I can… Oh, yes, I can fight the battle and win I can make it to the end, secure in the friend That silences all my fears, gives support And reminds me that, with his hands sustaining me, I will have the victory – Yes, oh yes – I’m a winner Until the end, I will forever be indebted to my friend The warrior on the other end, gripping the handle That guides me as I scoop up earth and rock, Force myself to always come out on top! Only a shovel, some might say – but for him, I inspire his heart to pray… “help me, Lord, to loosen the soil, dig up the earth so that a new foundation is born… “
