Life

Hammer and nail pick and shovel Toil and labor oh the trouble We work for what we don't have yet To build a life from our sweat We crash and burn at times in life But rise up from the the ashes like A newborn phoenix that can't be stopped To do such things that can't be topped We fail at times at things we do But try again with a heart renewed Sometimes we think our goals won't come But just don't quit this race we run When you fall down don't there remain Dust off your threads and wash that stain So pick yourself up off the floor If Gods your help he'll open a door.
