If the days seem hard, but much harder the nights
When hope is afar and despair all too near
If little is left barring worry and fear
If your friends turn away and leave you in pain
When heartbeats are thunder and tears fall like rain
If karma has dealt you yet one more dead hand
When plans go awry like a rocket unmanned
When nightmares are all that you get from your sleep
If you wake in the dawn and can’t help but weep
When your trust in people has crashed on a reef
If a loved one smiles but then kicks in your teeth
If you can’t see the point of each waking morn
When you try to be brave, though feeling forlorn
If fate cruelly removes that last friendly face
When even from God you are feeling no grace
Keep up that chin and your shoulders well back
Hold your head high as you walk down life’s track
All things must pass and your pain will too soon
So sing out defiance, or whistle its tune
The darkness of death should offer no fears
Before you were born passed billions of years
In this life or the next, some peace you will find
So take a deep breath and keep that in mind
