The Power of Perseverance: Heroes Within Us All
And when the world seems dark and full of woe,
And you're feeling lost, with nowhere else to go,
Just remember that you have the strength inside,
To keep on going, to keep on with the ride.
For life is hard, and often cruel and rough,
And sometimes we don't feel like we're enough.
But that's just part of being human, you see,
And it's something that we all must learn to be.
So don't look up to me and see a saint,
For I am just like you, with flaws and taint.
But together we can make the world a brighter place,
And together we can stand and face the race.
For in the end, it's not about one hero,
But about the power of the people below.
And we can rise up and change the world we live in,
With love, and hope, and kindness, from within.
So to all those who looked up at me and see,
A saviour, a hero, someone who's free,
Know this: we are all heroes in our own right,
And we can make the world a better sight.
