From the start we begin so small
We don't know what lies ahead of us all
In the dark, a road with no end
We may stumble, but united we stand

Don't give up now, because life's been rough
When you feel broken, every nerve is tough
You gotta keep on fighting, putting all your will inside
And rise up through the wind

Facing all the obstacles you see
You gotta take your chances for victory
Go against fear and show your power
Take control and make this hour yours

Each of us starts small, as a grain of sand
We have the potential to make something grand
And if we nourish our souls and use them right
We can become something greater in spite of our plight

The flame is slow to burn but bright enough to light the way
The depths of fear only exist if we decide to stay
Through all the threats you can battle, all the pain you can endure
Do not give up, you can make it on your own for sure

Life can put obstacles in our way and throw us off balance
But this pain was made for us to find our true courage
And keep on going no matter how far we must go
To reach a place of peace and calm - a place you can call home.
