Take the World and the Times On

From the lone journey you can’t get away With the irate strangers on crowded rides You would hear surely someone within say It's time for you to take on the world wide. On your climb of the steep hill you strive hard People would try pull you down, but be bold You would remember somewhere you had heard It's time for you to take on the world cold. Living sad in the gloomy space of rut Mind would bury happiness under grimes You would hear clear someone within assert It's time for you to take on the tough times. Feeling the pained life with a broken heart Peace would melt away from your soul sublime You would remember before you depart It's time for you to take on the toiled times. Take the cold world and the tough times head on They would revolve, show you a new dawn's sun Don’t freeze the waves of life, let it roll on Don’t stop the music when it has begun.
