Push on, Push on
Push on, push on, through life’s heavy rains and strong gales,
Through those times when life feels like a ship without sails.
When the thunder roars and the waves crash all around,
When no safe harbour in your rough life can be found.
Just cling onto the rudder, hold it firm and straight,
For beyond these storms of life, new tomorrows wait.
Push on, push on, walk over the hills and through dales,
Where you wander lost in a land with no clear trails.
When there is nothing for you to follow this day,
Where no signs can be found that will show you the way.
Just hold onto life’s wisdom, let it be your guide,
It’s life’s path you walk, from which tomorrow can’t hide.
Push on, push on, even when the light you hold fails,
When the world’s colours fade, and your life’s brightness pales.
Walk forward through the darkness, take each step with care,
Testing where your foot lands, trusting what it finds there.
For a dark night will bring out the stars above you,
As the long night ends, tomorrow comes into view.
