Hammer To the Nail

You of all people pass judgment on me Look through my eyes and see what I see Start picking up what I'm putting down Brush yourself off, plant your feet back on the ground As long as you keep trying and don't quit, you can never fail It's a simple rule it's the hammer to the nail Don't always follow like a bunch of lost sheep You can dig yourself out, no matter how deep Be a front runner, pave the way Keep your dreams intact, don't let them go astray If you fall off the beaten path, just blaze a new trail It's a simple rule, it's the hammer to the nail Greet each day with a warming embrace Neve believe the old cliche, right time, right place You have the strongest influence on your own destiny You have to work at it, nothing great comes easy Be tougher than life, sometimes it puts you through hell It's a simple rule, it's the hammer to the nail
