Every day

In every way

Every person

Earns their stripe

 

Whether struggle

Or battle lost

Risen up

Or falling down

 

Every step

One step closer

Through the struggle

We all climb

 

Inching closer

Every day

Thumbs running

Across a delicate cheek

Wiping away every single tear

 

In the end

By nature

Or trial

Or any tribulation

 

In the end

We all earn our stripes
