The Test Copyright 2022
Mike Lacey

Woke up this morning, rubbed the sleep away
Made a pot of joe, getting ready for the day
Tried to read the paper, only got depressed
Seems the World is full of fools, everybody's stressed

You'll face some struggles, might be big or small
Some folks surrender, others give their all
Cost you love or money, changin up your plans
Just don't take a knee, when you oughta take a stand

Pre-chorus
There's hurdles waiting, to block you from your dreams
Stay at the ready, to brave the unforeseen

Chorus
Without a warning, life puts you to the test
Wearing on your body and your mind
Be prepared, never quit, always bring your best
Working through a challenge takes some time
Can learn from failure, same when you succeed
Don't count on fairness, nothing's guaranteed
Even if a lot of things don't go the way you planned
To climb a mountain, gotta first believe you can

Pre-chorus
Chorus
solo
Leave behind the past, that's nagging at your soul
Waste of time to worry bout things you can't control
Understand that working hard can take you pretty far
To be a winner doesn't mean you gotta be the star

Pre-chorus
Chorus
