Be Strong

I’m swimming upstream,
In oceans of blue,
Trying to carry myself,
Although I’m sinking,

Are you sick of the rain?
After all you've been through,
You’ve seen enough teardrops,
To last you,

When you can't take it,
When you can't make it,
You have so stand up and see,
What's around the bend,

Because in your darkest hour,
Someone’s always there,
Even if you can't see them,
There looking out for you,

Take each day one day at a time,
Keep it together,
Don’t' fall down,
Stand up and be proud,

When the light fades away,
And petals turn grey,
Just remember,
To be strong.
