Keep faith within yourself for you’re alive.
You have no time for tears or thoughts of doubt.
You must be the victor and survive.
In daily life the hardships do arrive
with wondering of how it will turn out.
Keep faith within yourself for you’re alive.
Oh, with a human effort do you strive
your body racked with all emotion's drought.
You must be the victor and survive.
Fools think that life is all just play and jive
having all the swagger and the clout.
Keep faith within yourself for you’re alive.
As time goes by appreciate the drive.
There’ll be some happy days to rave about.
You must be the victor and survive.
Wishing you a life pass ninety-five.
Do not be old and only just a grouch.
Keep faith within yourself for you’re alive.
You must be the victor and survive.
