To
Accomplish
a
Dream
In
each
of
us
somewhere
down
deep
inside,
A
will
abides
which
sometimes
seems
to
sleep.
When
mountains
loom
it
even
wants
to
hide,
Because
the
climb
is
treacherous
and
steep.
Think
not
that
fate
will
somehow
pull
you
up,
As
in
a
preordained
triumphant
scheme,
For
idle
hands
not
once
received
the
cup;
Hard
work
and
will
alone
can
cinch
the
dream.
So
gather
all
the
strength
that
you
can
find,
Then
set
your
sights
upon
the
highest
peak,
Advancing
upward
with
determined
mind
That
you
will
surely
win
the
prize
you
seek.
Leave
naught
to
chance;
don't
whine
and
moan
or
cry
--
Ignite
your
will,
roll
up
your
sleeves
and
try!
