Endure
If I can endure for this moment,
whatever is happening to me.
I may be having it bad,
But there might be others having it worse.
No matter how heavy my heart,
or how dark the moment may be.
No matter how much i feel like dropping everything,
giving everything up and
not caring anymore.
When all about me is black with gloom,
And all i seem to feel is pending doom.
When my bones are racked with grim despair -
When every breath is a gasp for air.
When all i feel is that I'm always giving,
and not receiving any,
Keep on going,
For around the bend is a ray of hope.
Things do go wrong as they sometimes will.
And i want to smile but i have to sign.
I'll rest if i must,
but fight on still.
If I can but keep on believing,
what I know in my heart to be true.
Not giving up and hanging on and giving my best.
Then darkness will fade into morning,
and with this dawn a new day, too.
A ray of hope is perhaps all that's left,
It's all in your state of mind.
Life is full of twists and turns.
Success is failure turned inside out.
you'll never can tell how close you are,
it may be near when it appears far.
If i let go of that rope,
i would have lost it all.
If i endure and hold on,
i''m giving myself a chance of hope.
Just giving myself another day,
Brushing aside what my thoughts may say.
This is my life and i can make a new start,
By ignoring the brain - just follow the heart.
Taking baby steps in order to cope,
And minute by minute
One day at a time,
I'll build on my hope.
Though the road may be steep and hard to climb.
The hurts of the past - they should be dead.
The fears of the future are all in my head.
Just live in the present and refuse to mope
The pace may be slow.
But i may just succeed with another blow.
That i may just be at the end of the line.
Life's battles aren't always won by the fastest or the strongest.
But sooner or later the one who wins is the one who thinks they can!
Its all in the state of mind,
and how determined you are.
For now endurance is what i have to do,
for the sake of the prize at the end of the line.
