ANSA… for the love of writing
We are not giving up
No we can never
We keep throwing those punches
Every obstacle in our path must bow
The road may get tough
But then, the tough always get going
Tho the efforts may not look like much
We'll definitely break through at last
It only gets better
The challenge makes the prize sweeter
We run the race set before us
We can't be quitters
This ride ends well
We raise our cup at last
The final will shatter the obstacle made of glass
We'll always win.
Paths to the Babel of pride, beyond the tide
And the terrain to success may be void or wide
Life, with its rues, it comes with a stinging hide
Your weapon? Just brave the paths like a beast
And clench your fist!
You wobble on the paths to seek your part
You toil on the gravid soil with no hope from the heart.
Your weapon—your valor, is your hope and courage!
Don't be besmeared by fear, oh rage!
Even in the terrifying mist!
I say, just clench your fist!
The journey so long and brimful of woes
A painful pounce on joy, the throes!
What makes a man fearless if not his bravery?
I tell you, life comes with jaws of mystery
Just, just, oh! Just wait and insist!
To conquer, you must clench your fist!
