The Extra Mile
it's not always easy to smile
but sometimes you have to run the extra mile
life has never been and never will be fair
but you should still love, still live, still care
don't give up now that you've gotten so far
keep believing and you'll find your star
even though things get tough at times
someone else is living a harder life
things may never go your way
but the sun will shine another day
it's hard to keep frowned faces
so learn that there are better people, better places
there are better ways and better things
so learn to flap your wings
it's not easy to smile
you might have to run the extra mile
