In Time

In time the inimicals, the doubts and uncertainties;
In time they'll go by, in time they'll pass. 
It is difficult to hear, difficult to see
Difficult to feel, difficult to deal with
But in time they'll pass. 
If the inimicals consume, then we lose.
We lose all hope of winning
All hope of triumph. Why? 
We gave in, we gave up we let the inimicals win.
We let them consume everything. 

With perseverance, we attain.
With perseverance, we accomplish. 
Perseverance should never lose its light. 
For its gleaming light, however picayune it may be
That is all we need to slowly drudge our way back.
Drudge our way back to the triumph.
Drudge our way back to the hope.
Drudge our way back to ourselves.
Drudge our way back from the inimicals. 
Drudge our way back to winning.

In time the inimicals, the doubts and uncertainties;
In time they'll go by, in time they'll come to pass.
