When Life Begins To Feel Real Tough

When working hard is not enough, Life begins to feel real tough. Take it from me and listen here, Your trial will come; the time is near. Study hard and try your best, Run ‘til sweat trails down your chest. The test you fail; the game you lose, You mope to the tune of your own blues. But don’t you stop; don’t you break, Keep on running away from that snake. It’s name is Fear; wants you to quit, It promises peace and quiet. Now as tempting this may seem, Fear will shatter your hopes and dreams. So don’t give up and don’t give in, Give it a year; maybe you’ll win!
