Don't quit

When things go wrong,as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low
and the 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.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a person turns about
When they might have won had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow-
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failture turned inside out-
It's pressing on past fear and doubt-
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

諦めないで

たとえ何かが上手くいかないとしても、
道がずっと登り坂に見えても、
お金がないのに借金ばかりの時でも,
微笑みたいのに溜息ばかり出る時でも、
悩みが重くのしかかってくるときでも、
必要なら休んでもいいだろう。
しかし,決して諦めてはいけない｡

人生が妙に曲がりくねっていても,
誰もがいつかそれを学ぶだろう｡
そして多くの失敗は成功に変わりえる。
あとひとふんばりしたなら、
勝利を得たかもしれないのだから。
すべてがゆっくりに見えても,諦めないで、
あと一押しで成功をみるかもしれないのだから。。。

成功と失敗はうらおもて、
疑いの黒雲に差し込む銀色の光。
あなたはその成功にどのくらい近いか知らない。
たとえ遠く見えたとしても,すぐそこかもしれない。
強い打撃を受けても戦い続けよう。
最悪の時だと思っても、
決して,諦めないで｡

If I Were You
------Hoobastank

Hoobastank - "If I Were You"

You seem to find the dark when everything is bright.
You look for all that's wrong instead of all that's right.
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade?
You never say a word unless it's to complain.
It's driving me insane...

If I were you, holding the world right in my hands,
the first thing I'd do is thank the stars for all that I have.
If I were you...

Look what surrounds you now more than you've ever dreamed.
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be?
So what's it going to take for you to realize
it all could go away in one blink of an eye?
It happens all the time...

If I were you, holding the world right in my hands,
the first thing I'd do, is thank the stars above, tell the ones I love
that I do...

Yeah IF I WERE YOU,
Whoa, yeah IF I WERE YOU
IF I WERE YOU, whoaaaa
IF I WERE YOU

So what's it going to take for you to realize
it all could go away in one blink of an eye?
It happens all the time...

If I Were You,
holding the world right in my hands,
the first thing I'd do,
is thank the stars above,
for the ones I love,
take a breath and enjoy the view,
live the life that I wanted to.
If I Were You...
If I Were You...
If I Were You![/

Perhaps Love

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

(John Denver)
Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

(Placido Domingo)
Oh, Love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel

(John Denver)
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel

(Placido Domingo)
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know

(John starts joined by Placido)
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

(Placido Domingo)
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go

(John Denver)
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

(John starts joined by Placido)
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
