You Find Life A Battle

You find life a battle and you have done it tough
You have been hungry and homeless and lived and slept rough
One who has often been down and refused to be counted out
That you are a survivor you leave none in doubt
The challenge of life you are one who does meet
But you have come a long way from poverty street
With a nice home and a job and a beautiful wife and young son and daughter today
You are one in life who has come a long way
The tougher side of life you surely have seen
Your parents in jail and homeless at fourteen
But you are one who with hope does keep the faith
And everything does come to those who do wait
People like you i can only admire
And of singing your praises i never could tire.
