Today, when I felt hopeless, tired and all low
Battered by life’s challenges, tests and tiring blows
Wanted to give up, just accept my defeat
Wanted to lie low, stop and silently retreat
As I thought to do that, a tiny whisper I heard
Wait, there’s HOPE, why not try, why give up!
Each step that you take, I’ll walk with you along
I know you feel terrified, but I’m there, holding you strong
You may feel you’re all alone, but I’m there holding your hand
You may feel weak, but I’m giving you strength to stand
I know you feel no one listens, you feel abondoned and bereft
But you must believe that by me, you’ll never be left
Don’t fear the challenges, for they bring lessons great
Don’t fear the darkness, for light it surely generates
Keep going, don’t stop, move ahead – a step at a time
Eventually my dear, you’ll be at the summit of the climb!
