keep writing your name in the sand
this act of perseverance is called resilience
PMA is the bridge between setting goals and achieving them
and it's determined by you and not by others
keep pushing forward
pursue dreams with actions, do not wait for things to happen
stick tight to inner strength
it all takes place inside the heart
actions speak louder than words they say
while talk is cheap and easily stated
put your money where your mouth is
never bow down towards where the ground is
keep fighting for every inch
when enough is enough you are halfway there
rise up against the odds 'cause even rivers wash dams away someday
great danger doesn't lie in setting aims to high
never settle for less
life is a song so fucking sing it
even when things go wrong and you feel defeated
'cause that what does not kill us only makes us stronger
turn things around light up the darkness
keep pushing forward
