WITHOUT A CRYSTAL BALL
If I Relentlessly Pursue My Happiness
And My Sacrifices Are Big And Tall
Then I Can See My Future Clearly
Without The Use Of My Crystal Ball

Deeply Rooted In My Plans For Prosperity
And Buried Inside Of My Hope
Are The Many Things I Treasure
In My World Where I Can Cope

Life Is A Constant Reminder
That Living Without Luck Is Bad
The Achievements That I Acknowledge
Are More Than What I Had

Eruptions Have Come Unscheduled
Setbacks Were Always Uninvited
When Confusion Is All Around Me
I Almost Never Get Excited

To Avoid The Fire Of Snipers
Who Hide Behind The Veil
I Keep Beating Back The Bullets
Because I Refuse To Fail

Whenever My Self-Esteem Is Strip-Searched
And My Sense Of Self Is Shaken
I Keep Moving Ahead Of Troubles
And I Will Not Be Overtaken

My Mental Roadblocks Have Been Removed
My Out Look Is Free And Clear
The Sounds Of Satisfaction
Are Music To My Ear

Victory Is What I Am Seeking
Confidence Is What I Own
I Have Made It Through The Darkness
And I Like What I Am Shown

I Have Gone Through The Skirmishes
Where Survivors Learn To Crawl
I Have Faced My Fiercest Battles
And I Have Overcome Them All
