When life is rough and night's long,
Do not cower away.
Set your heart and sing a song,
Be it night or day.

If not singing a song,
An instrument you play.
Why to wait for day's along,
Better start today.

What if you can't climb a mountain,
Go ahead and climb a hill.
What if you can't cross an ocean,
Go ahead and cross a lake.

If not 'this' then do 'that',
But do not sit there still.
Because elders say an idle mind,
Is a workshop of the devil.

Do not give up if you fall,
There is a word called chance.
Never turn back on anyone,
Not without a second chance.

Do not quit, never give up,
Utter not the forbidden word I can't,
Because letting go without a fight,
That you definitely aren't.

And so it is said,
If not THIS then do THAT
But never ever give up.
