Soldier On

The rain is beating hard
But I will soldier on
It hurts as it beats down on me
But I will soldier on

It's everywhere I go
As if the cloud follows me along
It laughs its thunderous laugh
But I will soldier on

It pours down harder
When I guard myself well and strong
Hoping that I will cave under
But I will soldier on

It's in my face and hurting my eyes
It's raining all the way on this road ever-long
It awaits a chance that I may slip or lose my grip
But no, I must soldier on

I brave the wind which beats the raindrops even harder on me
The rain is so dense that it's sometimes difficult to see
It stealthily subsides, waiting for me to take a turn so wrong
But I won't, I will not succumb for I am made to soldier on.

They tried ever so hard those black clouds
They flooded my tears and drowned my happy song
But I sang louder and louder to myself
Because I knew that I had won, just by soldiering on.
