The Going Gets Tough

When things are hard

When life keeps you guessing

Throwing curve balls to catch you off your game

When the going gets tough

And we are pushed to our limits

What choice do we have

To give up or push through

The tough chose to go on

They push and they push

Till they get to the finish line
