Staying strong

Keep your chin up

Even in the face of hardships

I will stay strong and smile. 

Laid off at work 

Right before the holidays 

Cant pay the bills 

Let my brother down 

Relaying on others 

To pay my way 

Waiting for unemployment 

To honor me with a phone call

Electricity shut off 

Freeze for the night 

Got no money 

Tears run down my face 

I will give myself ten minutes 

To wallow in self pity 

And be blue To hate myself 

1...2...3...4  

5

10 

Ok enough is enough

I will drag myself up off the floor

Dry my tears square my shoulders 

Keep my head held high 

Keep my smile and sparkles in my eye 

I wont let this beat me down 

Because 

In the face of hardships 

I will stay strong And Smile
