On the morrow I rose to try again
I tried to conquer and I failed
So, on the morrow I rose to try again
I tried to succeed and I failed
Then, on the morrow I rose to try again
I tried to create, to be, to see,
I tried with every breath I breathed,
to simply be all I had been born to be.
I fell to the ground, bruised, broken and beat,
with heavy heart and eyes darked by grief,
I lay me down to troubled sleep.
For I knew then that though the price was steep
On the morrow I will try again.
