Dare To Struggle – MARGIE ADAM

From We Shall Go Forth!
Words and Music by Margie Adam

You wake up in the morning before the others do
You stand before the mirror to have a look at you
And before your face assumes the mask
you’ve fashioned oh so well
You see the slowly fading dreams you never dare to tell

Dare to wonder, dare to know
And what’s inside you will grow.
Dare To Struggle, dare to win,
You may not pass this way again.

The one who shares his nights with you-the children who are yours
Are coming down the stairs into the kitchen to be served
And you hear demands of pancakes
Toast and orange juice
And you ask yourself: Is this the life I’ve lived to grow into?

Dare to question, dare to know;
And what’s inside you will grow.
Dare To Struggle, dare to win yourself
You may not pass this way again.

You stand before the open door as each one passes by
You see yourself for one last time as each one says goodbye
And before your face assumes the mask
You’ve fashioned oh so well
You see the slowly fading dreams you still have time to tell.

Oh you must Dare To Struggle, dare to know
And what’s inside you will grow.

Oh we must Dare To Struggle, dare to win ourselves
We may not pass this way again.
