Humble Enough to Ask

Caught up in the struggle
Of every day living
Trying in vain to get out of the hole
But not an inch is life giving.
Life is what you make of it
Not what it makes of you.
There's hills and valleys at every turn
How you traverse them is what'll get you through.
So you happened to fall down
Well get up like you're supposed to.
Go ahead and dust yourself off
Life isn't nearly finished with you.
'Cause an entirely new dawn
Appears every day that you wake
And as surely as night shall fall
Life's decisions you'll have to make.
And of the choices you've made
Positive results are for what you strive
'Cause if things don't work out choose another
You'll be doing this as long as you're alive.
Although some would disagree
For every good point you'd come up with
They'd come up with a bad one most vehemently.
And as long as you are living keep in mind
That life owes us nothing at all.
You have to accept the good along with the bad
Remember, as long as you are standing you may fall.
But that won't be the end of the world
Even if you need a helping hand
Be humble enough to request it
Regardless of your feelings for your fellow man.
So you may just need a little help
'Cause the climb from the hole can be quite a task
That's when you'll learn who's the big man
The big man has no problem, he'll ask.
