When trouble comes your way
Do you play dead or stay in the fight?
To see just how victorious you will be
Determination, passion, yeah that’s the key
To success—achieving your dreams no matter
What others think or how it may seem,
This is your time, no slacking, doubting
Your claim to your name being bounced
Around—flying here and there—in the minds
Of all who can and will do something about
This crazy carousel ride—careening through the night
Almost tossing you to the ground, but holding on
With all your might—you make it to the end and discover
You were right all along; this could be a song of
Deliverance, patience, fortitude, and might bringing
Justice and victory closer, just within sight
Of the naysayers so they can see, just how grand
Life is when you stay in the fight!
