How the World Should Work

This compass guides me, when I’m alone

I need no map, I need no phone

It tells me where my future lies

In that direction, I cast my eyes

Forging forward, no looking back

I have my dog, I have my pack

There is naught else that I shall need

And we shall find our goals, indeed

Long it is, the road ahead

I’ll walk it till the day I’m dead

Hoping, healing, helping all

Getting up each time I fall

For there are setbacks, yes it’s true

It’s true for all, both me and you

And we should thank them, not condemn

For they define ourselves, my friend

Our reaction to what’s hard

That’s what makes us who we are

Fight, my friend, do not give up

Fight, with me, and fill our cup
