Rocky is the path upon which we walk in life.
The daily labor creates bumps, bruises, and strife.
Challenges to our sanity abound,
And a man/woman must find his/her way around.

The turning points will come when the battle cry resounds.
Come on and change your destiny, round-by-round.
Stand up to the challenges.
Rise high above the hopelessnes.

With determination in your heart,
Cry out to the Lord to be your support.
Don't give in, don't give up.
Let the devil know what's what!

In the end the challenges will be conquered.
The bruises, bumps, and labor pains tempered.
Give praise to the Lord!
He has striken in your heart the hope chord.
