When things go wrong as they sometimes will- and the road you'
re
trudging seems all uphill- When the funds are low and the debts are high-- and you want to smile but you have to sigh-- When care is pressing you down a bit-- rest if u must but don't u quit-- Life is queer with it's twists and turns-- as everyone of us sometimes learns-- and many a fellow turns about-- when he might have won had he stuck it out-- Don't give up though the pace seems slow-- u may succeed with another blow-- Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man-- often the struggler has given up-- when he might have captured the victor's cup-- and he learned too late when the night came down-- how close he was to the golden crown-- Success is failure turned inside out-- the silver tint of the clouds of doubt-- And u never can tell how close u are-- it may be near when it seems afar-- So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-- it's when things seem worst that u mustn't quit----
