Tell me it will be okay, it will be alright
Even if it’s a lie, it will get me through the night
But soon enough, I’ll be back on track to set it all right
Maybe temporarily, until trouble comes back in sight
Once in a while, I may have gone astray
But it’s merely a wakeup call for me to find my way
Perseverance in its finest, has saved me today
To let my strength and determination defeat every fray
People may come and go, but fears may remain
Battles may be won and lost, but their cost may forever stain
Through every crust and trough, I savor my hope and its every grain
Maybe one day, I’ll find a detour to guide me back to the lane of sane
