Spent 35 years
Working for the man
Paid for an education and for the family
So I do what I can
The frustration with an employer
Politics and corruption at large
We stay on task
Despite our motives to discharge
Made some mistakes
And when I fell
I got back up
I did not say farewell
It’s not how many times you get knocked down
But only about the times you get back up
Cool hand Luke against Dragline
Never stayed down and never gave up
The fortitude of our endeavor
Tends to pay off after time well spent
Throughout our trials
And throughout our discontent
In the wake of our challenges
There is wisdom to persevere
Your faith will be tested
No matter how you define austere
