Life can be hard, son
And before you know it
You wind up in the dirt
Beaten so hard
That you lose hope
But believe me when I say:
You've got to learn to cope
Your body, weak and worn
Your spirit, shaken and torn
You wonder
If you have the strength to stand
Will you be brave enough to fight again?
Get up off the floor
Dust off your knees and
Settle the score
Cause you don't win in life
By lying on your back
No, you don't win in life
When you cower in the sand
You can only conquer
The trials that are laid before you
Even if you can only muster
Up enough strength to get through today
Remember, this problem is only a grain of sand.
There will be more problems that come
Don't let it drag you down

Life can be hard, son
And before you know it
You wind up in the dirt
Beaten so hard
That you lose hope
But believe me when I say:
You've got to learn to cope
Your body, weak and worn
Your spirit, shaken and torn
You wonder
If you have the strength to stand
Will you be brave enough to fight again?
Get up off the floor
Dust off your knees and
Settle the score
Cause you don't win in life
By lying on your back
No, you don't win in life
When you cower in the sand
You can only conquer
The trials that are laid before you
Even if you can only muster
Up enough strength to get through today
Remember, this problem is only a grain of sand.
There will be more problems that come
Don't let it drag you down
