When Your Road Is Uneven

When your road is uneven and heading uphill,
when it seems your agenda with troubles is filled,
When your strength's dissipating and your heart's empty, too.
Never fear, just remember there is still hope for you!
If you keep your head high and your feet on the path,
the day will soon come when at all this you'll laugh,
and you'll realize then that what helped you survive
Was simply your joy just in being alive.
It's what made you keep trying when each try seemed in vain...
it's what kept your eyes focused on what you could gain.
Don't forget that an uneven road climbing high
At the top of the hill let's you scan from the sky!
