Im Down Today

I'm down today
When I think to say
How it was supposed to be
The truth of things you see

I once thought that life was good
No one have thought I could
Fail at anything I put my mind to
But in the end I was through

Stand for the right I heard them say
For the right will win the day
But I could not find the right you see
Or understand what was meant to be
For right may only be one side
And in the end less sanctified.

That's life my friend. But we keep on going. Nicely expressed. It's the setbacks that should give us the courage to get up and try again. Nice, I like it. Thank you.
