See It Through

When you are up against a trouble

Meet it squarely face to face

Lift your chin and set your shoulders

Plant your feet

And take a brace.

When it’s vain to try to dodge it

Do the best that you can do

You may fail

But you may conquer

See it through.

Black may be the clouds about you

And your future may seem grim

But don’t let your nerve desert you

Keep yourself in fighting trim.

If the worst is bound to happen

In spite of all that you can do

Running from it will not save you

See it through.

Even hope may seem futile

When the trouble you’re beset

But remember what you are facing is

Just what other men have met.

You may fail

But still be fighting

Don’t give up whatever you do

Eyes front

Head high to the finish

See it through!
