I'm learning a lot lately
I hatedΒ Β problems and wished them gone...
Wished my troubles would disappear
This is not the way of life

We need problems to grow
They make us better people
They shape our best character
They teach us to pray, hope and fight
We become stronger

Life is a product of the good and bad
Next to victory there is a problem
Beauty comes with suffering
Diamonds are buried beneath the surface
Nothing good comes easy

To live is to struggle
To triumph, battles must be fought
There is no peace devoid of war
After light must come darkness
In the end we will learn to survive
We will master the seasons

Our problems shall crown us
Problems shall make us wealthy
And they will make us famous
We will be the Kings
