Move On

Some people glide through every day
and never raise a sweat.
They go through life without a care,
no tears, no strife, no debt.

I know of one or two like that
and you may know a few.
Most people never catch the ring
no matter what they do.

No, you and I are don’t have much luck,
although it would be great.
Instead we struggle through each day.
We’re victims of cruel fate.

You may have hope that things will change
and soon will come your day.
But I can tell you here and now,
it doesn’t work that way.

You’ll realize that you and I
can never win this race.
The best that we can ever do
is finish with some grace.

So when the struggle gets too tough
and all your hope is gone,
just raise your head up, grit your teeth,
breathe in, breathe out, move on.
