Life is rough, sometimes I feel like I would rather not go on,

I feel drowned in the cares of this bitter world,

sometimes I would like to see it all go away.

I'm trying to hold, sometimes by a thread,

God help me just to hold on, be my strength everyday.

I will not succumb.

I get pushed down, but I'll push right back,

I won't let this bitter world make me crack,

I fall to my knees and start to pray, this my strength for another day.
