I have my pain
I have my love
And my hate
And I'll not live without one of them
And I do what I can to keep on top of every one of them
I've got to live by the rules of my heart
And to trust my feeble mind
And I do what I can to keep on top of every one of them
Oh child be strong in all you do
Know your heart through and through
I have a friend who's been inside my tiny brain
He's seen the aging and the mildew from the rain
He does what he can to keep on top of every one of them
At last I know what's in my soul and in my bones
The things that cannot be denied
And I do what I can to keep on top of every one of them
I do what I can to ward away the very death of them
Oh child be strong in all you do
Know your heart through and through
