I have my love

and my hate

And I'll not live without one of them

And I do what I can

to keep on top of every one of them

I've got to live by the rules of my heart

and to trust my feeble mind

And I do what I can

to keep on top of every one of them

Oh child, be strong in all you do

Know your heart through and through

Oh child, be strong in all you do

Know your heart through and through

I have a friend who's been inside my tiny brain

He's seen the aging and the mildew from the rain

He does what he can

to keep on top of every one of them

At last I know what's in my soul

and in my bones

The things that cannot be denied

And I do what I can

to keep on top of every one of them

I do what I can to ward away

the very death of them

Oh child, be strong in all you do

and know your heart through and through

Oh child, be strong in all you do

Know your heart through and through
