When the road seems long, and the night is dark,
When your strength is gone, and you’ve lost your spark,
Remember these words, simple yet grand,
Believe in yourself, for yes, you can.
When doubt creeps in and whispers lies,
When fear takes hold and paralyzes,
Stand tall, be bold, take a stand,
Brush off the fear, for yes, you can.
When the climb is steep, and the path is tough,
When every step feels rough and gruff,
Persevere, push through, follow your plan,
Keep moving forward, for yes, you can.
When you stumble and fall, bruised and sore,
When you wonder if you can take any more,
Rise up again, take life’s hand,
With courage and grit, for yes, you can.
When dreams seem distant, out of sight,
When the future looks uncertain, and nothing feels right,
Hold onto hope, let your spirit expand,
Trust in your journey, for yes, you can.
When others doubt and say you won’t succeed,
When negativity and naysayers plant their seed,
Ignore their words, let your confidence expand,
Follow your heart, for yes, you can.
When you achieve what seemed impossible before,
When you reach new heights and soar,
Look back with pride, at where you began,
Knowing deep within, that yes, you can.
So in every moment, every challenge you face,
In every struggle, every race,
Remember these words, let them guide your hand,
Believe in yourself, for yes, you can.
