THIS TOUGH

​

It ain't always this tough

It isn't always this way

When the ocean gets rough

You bow and you pray

Well you stand up & fight,

what you're doing is right

You go on & you stay

It isn't always this way

​

On other ships

it's better and it's worse

Bad luck and setbacks

are part of the curse

​

You can always go back

And return to the mines

But you know in the black

every tiny light shines

You should light up & try

Keep ignoring the lies

You will stay and hold on

'till the day you have won

​

In other places

other problems show

You saw smiling faces,

how were you to know?

​

In due time you will find

And the future will show

That the ocean is kind

And the waves can be low

& the harder the storm

The more you'll feel warm

just hold on one more day

it isn't always this way

​

You search for answers

as you lie awake

Ferocious creatures

'till the day will break...
