Gary, just in case you haven't heard it, I wanted to point out Rodney Atkins song "If you're going through hell" with this chorus:

If you're going through hell
Keep on going
don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

When I read your chorus, I couldn't help plugging in the Atkins tune.

The lyrics are here: http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/atkins-rodney/if-youre-going-through-hell-16751.html

or better yet listen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaOJsvcIG84

There are some similarities to your song but for the most part, you have an original work. I like the message and the slap-ya up-the-side-of-the-head attitude; that this ain't no fairytale, you were born to make decisions, you have to climb that mountain etc.

No, this ain't no fairy tale and it doesn't get easier- my Mother will be 83 in July. She said, "Old age ain't for wimps!"
