When Things go wrong, as wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, But you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, But don't you quit!

Life is queer with it's little twists and turns,

As everyone one of us sometime learns,

And many a fellow turns about,

When he might have won if he stuck it out,

Don't give up though the pace seems slow

You may succeed with another blow,

Often the goal seems nearer than,

It seems to a faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up,

When he might have captured the Victor's Cup,

And he learned too late when the night came down,

How close he was to the golden crown,

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you can never tell how close you are,

It may be near but it seams so far,

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,

It's when things seem worst when you mustn't quit.
