I have my pain

I have my love

And my hate



And I'll not live without one of them

And I do what I can to keep on top of every one of them



I've got to live by the rules of my heart

And to trust my feeble mind

And I do what I can to keep on top of every one of them



Oh child be strong in all you do

Know your heart through and through



Oh child be strong in all you do

Know your heart through and through



I have a friend who's been inside my tiny brain

He's seen the aging and the mildew from the rain

He does what he can to keep on top of every one of them



At last I know what's in my soul and in my bones

The things that cannot be denied



And I do what I can to keep on top of every one of them

I do what I can to ward away the very death of them



Oh child be strong in all you do

Know your heart through and through



Oh child be strong in all you do

Know your heart through and through
