When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must but don’t you quit
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near, when it seems afar
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit
It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.
