Can I rise to face today,
when I hear all the things they say?
Can I fathom one more day,
despite the stubborn and their way?
Can I survive this world's decay,
with all the laws in disarray?
Can I get up - is it okay,
go back to sleep or walk away?
Can I just work another day,
for one small check - my measly pay?
Can I get up with skies so gray,
and face the torture - come what may?
Can I give up and can I pray,
"I trust Your 'will' and trust Your way?"
Can I look up and can I say,
"I'm humbly Yours and will obey?"
