You sharpen the axe
And you make your first swing
But it all goes wrong
And you cut your foot
Do not despair
Do not give in
For with you this day
It all has gone wrong.
You go to the car
And you sit inside
And then in hope
You start the car
But the engine won't go
For the battery is flat
So for you this day
It all has gone wrong.
And so on it goes
Things can go wrong
And you wonder where
It all will end
But do not despair
Do not give in
For with the One above
There's hope for each day.
