Hell and High Water

I am Tenacious like a stubborn lion But sometimes I only have life by a thread And I walk lethargic almost as I'm dead But I keep going Disregarding the dread Like a soldier far from home I lose hope when I stumble But remain strong like a stone Step down from my undeserving throne And become humble Fight the strongest temptations Keep on my righteous path Even come the lowest rations I push on Remain on my straight line Come hell or high water I'm bringing mine
