WHEN THINGS GO WRONG AS THEY SOMETIMES WILL,
WHEN THE ROAD YOU'RE TRUDGING SEEMS ALL UPHILL
WHEN THE FUNDS ARE LOW AND THE DEBTS ARE HIGH,
AND YOU WANT TO SMILE, BUT YOU HAVE TO SIGH,
WHEN CARE IS PRESSING YOU DOWN A BIT -
REST IF YOU MUST, BUT DON'T QUIT
LIFE IS STRANGE WITH ITS TWISTS AND TURNS
AS EVERY ONE OF US SOMETIMES LEARNS,
AND MANY WILL FAIL WHEN THEY MIGHT HAVE WONHAD THEY STUCK IT OUT.
DONT GIVE UP THOUGH THE PACE SEEMS SLOW-
YOU MAY SUCCEED WITH ANOTHER BLOW!
SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURNED INSIDE OUT -
THE SILVER TINT OF THE CLOUDS OF DOUBT
AND YOU NEVER CAN TELL HOW CLOSE YOU ARE,
IT MAY BE NEAR WHEN IT SEEMS AFAR,
SO STICK TO THE FIGHT WHEN YOU'RE HARDEST HIT, -
IT'S WHEN THINGS SEEM WORST THAT YOU MUSTN'T QUIT.
