Strive and fight
By Stephen Scott
You have to fight for your life
because you are down
Nobody’s gonna be there to pick
you back up. Put in some energy
and work you can get yourself
back up from the ground
Be the best that you can be
And always strive for greater
even if you think you have been
the best because sometimes there
won’t be a later time
You have to fight to stay
alive and up
Please never
give up in life
Your life is precious
Make the best of it
