You Find Life A Battle

You find life a battle and you have done it tough You have been hungry and homeless and lived and slept rough One who has often been down and refused to be counted out That you are a survivor you leave none in doubt The challenge of life you are one who does meet But you have come a long way from poverty street With a nice home and a job and a beautiful wife and young son and daughter today You are one in life who has come a long way The tougher side of life you surely have seen Your parents in jail and homeless at fourteen But you are one who with hope does keep the faith And everything does come to those who do wait People like you i can only admire And of singing your praises i never could tire.
