Very often when you are striving
To make life a grand success,
Someone stands off and criticises
By giving you the discouraging laugh.
But what need you care for that!
Just keep the upward road,
And this will lead you to success,
If you ambitiously onward go.
The one that laughs the loudest
Is the one that laughs the last,
So when you see them laughing
Just put on more ambition to the task.
And tell them you are a hero,
And expect to win the prize;
That you mean to be a champion
In whatever you undertake.
No prize comes very easy,
You must work and fight to win;
That is why the Japs are fighting hard
And the Russians losing them.
God is not always with the strongest,
But is always with the right.
That is why the Japanese won;
He gave them power and might.
Now this should be a lesson
For this country great and grand,
That God is no respecter of persons,
But is father of every man.
It is a very dangerous thing
To undertake to crush the weak;
For our Savior is always on their side—
As a general thing they are meek.
