Hold On

When you've reached the end of your rope,
Tie a knot and hold on.
Gather strength, and renew your vision.
There is hope, and all isn't gone.

Don't sit and wait for things to happen,
Just wasting another precious day.
But believe all things are possible.
Rally the troops, and forage your way.

Arise. Rise up like the Phoenix.
Order your steps; take charge of your life.
And don't fear possible failure;
Keep on, though it cuts like a knife.
