When all the weight of the world Is laid upon your shoulders Don't weep for your misfortune Don't complain about your situation Just wait and listen and learn When all the friends that you thought would never leave All get up at the same time And walk out of your life Don't pout or punch a hole in the wall Because now you are alone Keep still and stay strong When all the hope runs dry And the river of sorrow flows into your life And all that you can think of Consists of ending your life And throwing away all of your dreams Turn back and realise what you have Imagine yourself at your own funeral Think of the people in your life Even if they are enemies, family, or just coworkers Think of them And then think of the long line there will be Walking alongside your casket Gazing at your face Made swollen by the tears you bled in the ending moments of your life Even if there is only one person there You would still have made a difference in someone's life You would still have caused someone's heart to grow empty And you would still not have known, who you would grow into And what would have became of you If only you had held on Tried to learn from what happened And learn to grow from it.
