I can last a lifetime

or be done with in a day

I can be picked up

I can be thrown away



Hope that I can bounce back

after each and every fall

I'm supposed to bounce back

I am a rubber ball

Hope that I can bounce back

after each and every fall

but it's easier to fall

I'm supposed to bounce back



I can't hit you hard enough

to make you feel you're not alone

I can't touch you soft enough

to make you feel you're flesh and bone



But I'll keep on trying

even though I'm not getting through

I'll keep trying

trying to get to you
