In every season of life,
among the impossible,
keep on trying.

In the valley of death,
with every failure,
keep on trying.

In every heartache,
when it feels hopeless,
keep on trying.

I do not know why
but somehow I must try
to keep on trying.

Even when I’ve cried
enough tears to fill up rivers,
I must keep on trying.

Despite the void
you left behind,
I have to keep on trying.
