People stand around
Worried sick
Wondering and waiting
For life to click
They're always the victim
Always feeling sorry
Hoping for a fight
But never emerging in glory
To be fair
I will give them the benefit of the doubt
Even though all they do
Is willow and shout
It's true that it's tough to get up
When life takes you so far down
And it's hard to get respect
When you walk with a broken crown
There are situations
That hit you when you have no plan
But my mother always said
Tough choices make the man
I remember meeting people that have given up, and I felt I was close to give up too, but my mother always said tough choices make the man.
