When things go wrong as they sometimes will

When the road youre trudging seems all uphill

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but dont you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out.

Dont give up though the pace seems slow,

You may succeed with just one more blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint on the cloud of doubt,

And you never can tell just how close you are

It may be near when it seems so far.

So stick to the flight when youre hardest hit

That you mustnt quit.
