We see the road before us

The path is hard to climb

The burdens they seem endless

Our life is so designed

Our disappointments gather

We're lost within the maze

We gather all our spirit

And yet we feel dismayed

We're told that things get better

And true they always do

But pain within a moment

Can linger through and through

We think we know the answer

And yet in life we find

That pain is part of living

And so we start that climb

Each day a new beginning

With past from which we learn

That we are all embodied

With power of return

Hope the only answer

In every day that's given

Our hearts and mind in journey

Of each new day we're living

So put the past behind you

Let your spirit rest

For you are but the catalyst

Of what you know is best

Time is of the essence

Of every burden shared

We're in this all together

And hope is always there.
