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
