WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

WHEN THE ROAD

YOU’RE TRUDGING

SEEMS ALL UPHILL

WHEN THE FUNDS ARE LOW

AND THE DEBTS ARE HIGH

AND YOU WANT TO SMILE,

BUT YOU HAVE TO SIGH,

WHEN CARE IS PRESSING

YOU DOWN A BIT

REST, IF YOU MUST,

BUT DON'T YOU QUIT

LIFE IS QUEER WITH ITS

TWISTS AND TURNS,

AS EVERYONE OF US

SOMETIMES LEARNS,

AND MANY A FAILURE

TURNS ABOUT

WHEN YOU MIGHT HAVE WON

HAD YOU STUCK IT OUT

DON’T GIVE UP THOUGH

THE PACE SEEMS SLOW

YOU MAY SUCCEED

WITH ANOTHER BLOW

SUCCESS IS FAILURE

TURNED INSIDE OUT

THE SILVER TINT OF THE

CLOUDS OF DOUBT

AND YOU NEVER CAN TELL

HOW CLOSE YOU ARE

IT MAY BE NEAR

WHEN IT SEEMS SO FAR,

SO STICK TO THE FIGHT

WHEN YOU’RE HARDEST HIT

IT’S WHEN THINGS SEEM WORST

THAT YOU MUST NOT QUIT
