Line by Line Meaning
Hold on, be strong
Stay resilient, have courage
We can overcome
We have the ability to conquer our challenges
You can go the distance
You have the capability to persevere through obstacles
You can run the mile
You have the strength to push yourself to achieve your goals
You can walk straight through hell with a smile
You have the power to face hardships with an optimistic attitude
With a bowed head and a calm demeanor
Approach every situation with humility and composure
No need to worry, no need to cry
There's no benefit to stressing or lamenting, instead stay positive
Hold on, be strong
Stay resilient, have courage (reprise)
