I try to make it through the day
And don't let others lead me astray
But life is hard and life is tough
And there is too many people who make it rough
I try to keep on being strong
But maybe I am not
Maybe I am wrong
Maybe I can never climb
This mountain of a life of mine
I will keep on fighting
Step by step mile by mile
Until I can smile a truly happy smile
Everything I do to make me whole
Does not seem to heal my injured soul
I strive to be a better man
To make the world a better place
But I am tired of my whole plan
I hide it behind my happy face
