It's a journey bound for a destination,
It's like a project with a mission;
The life we live is a jounrey,
And sometimes it tastes so inspid, with no honey,
We set goals for ourselves, but fail to accomplish them,
Sometimes we are discouraged by these failures,
So we resign to fate, and give in to mere leisures,
I know the feeling,
I've been there before, so I can relate with your pains and feelings,
But in the midst of the struggle,
The fact that it seems with the break of dawn, our struggles double,
I've come to understand that victory is not for those who give up after the first try,
It's not also for those who give up after a thousand trys,
It's for those who keep their eyes on the prize,
And keep pressing on no matter the hurdles,
It's for those who keep their eyes on the prize,
And keep pushing no matter their troubles,
I don't know what you are struggling with,
Or what you are faced with,
May be you are tired of trying,
You are fed up and you just want to stop trying,
I urge you to pick yourself up,
And look to the top,
Refocus your eyes on the prize,
And try again, no matter the pain,
Of failures and disappointments,
Keep your eyes on the prize,
'Cause it is the continuous striking of the rock,
That collapses the entire rock,
It is the continuous dropping of the little drops,
That makes a mighty ocean,
So don't give up!
Keep your eyes on the prize!
'Cause you will get there if you hold on!
Peace.
