One day you’re high,
One day you’re low,
One day you’re confused,
don’t know which way to go.
Blindsided by hardship,
that seems to come out of nowhere,
problem after problem,
seems like too much to bear.
They say God knows our limits,
we question if that’s true,
sometimes it takes more than faith,
to get this brother through.
On this roller coaster called life,
there is much to be learned,
the path is not always straight,
it has its twists and turns.
So, when you’re down don’t stay down,
get back up and strive,
though the storm came through,
don’t let it leave
its legacy
behind.
