Hang On

When life hands you a heavy load
and your left feeling like a warted toad
You've been knocked down flat on your back
And feel that you are under great attack

Things start to mess with your mind
The longer you dwell in it you get further behind
You feel that now you've come to the very end
Not realizing that all you have to do is begin again

Starting over again can be a big challenge at first
But staying in a downtrodden state can be even worse
You are much greater than you choose to see
So stand up strong and become what you were meant to be

Yes hard times will come but you must hold on
The more you work through it the sooner it'll be gone
There's been a purpose for your life since the day you were born
So visualize that thing and stay strong, don't let the negative leave you torn
From dusk to dawn as night turns to Morn, never give up just hang on.
