It takes a little courage | |
And a little self-control | |
And some grim determination, | |
If you want to reach the goal. | |
It takes a deal of striving, | |
And a firm and stern-set chin, | |
No matter what the battle, | |
If you really want to win. | |
There’s no easy path to glory, | |
There’s no rosy road to fame. | |
Life, however we may view it, | |
Is no simple parlor game; | |
But its prizes call for fighting, | |
For endurance and for grit; | |
For a rugged disposition | |
And a “don’t-know-when-to-quit.” | |
You must take a blow or give one, | |
You must risk and you must lose, | |
And expect that in the struggle | |
You will suffer from the bruise. | |
But you mustn’t wince or falter, | |
If a fight you once begin; | |
Be a man and face the battle— | |
That’s the only way to win. | |
