When things go wrong - As they sometimes will
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 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.
