Dear friend,
If tomorrow finds you tired, afraid, on the brink of surrender,
If you're tempted to finally give in, give up, go home --
I would urge you to remember what's kept you holding on so long.
String the reasons onto a chain and wear them.
Braid them into your hair.
Stir them into your coffee in the morning,
Sing them to your nephew,
Paint them big and bright on your walls
And hang in there.
[DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP!]
