What is Life?
Life is a challenge, meet it,
Life is a gift, accept it,
Life is an adventure, dare it,
Life is a sorrow, overcome it,
Life is a tragedy, face it,
Life is a duty, perform it,
Life is a game, play it,
Life is a mystery, unfold it,
Life is a song, sing it,
Life is an opportunity, take it,
Life is a journey, complete it,
Life is a promise, fulfill it,
Life is beauty, praise it,
Life is a struggle, fight it,
Life is a goal, achieve it,
Life is a puzzle, solve it,
Life is love, love it.

You'll Do It
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn't, but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so 'till he tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it;"
But he took off his coat and took off his hat
And the first thing he knew he'd begun it.
With the lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.
