We never know our fate in life
From the moment of our birth
We know not the roads we'll travel
While walking upon this earth

The tears we'll cry, the pain we'll bear
Is kept unknown to us
We wake each day to face the world
Living in faith and trust

Our shattered dreams, our adversities,
Things beyond our own control
Can wear us down from day to day
The worries can take their toll

If we were given just one chance
To see what our future holds
Would it weaken us beyond belief
Or make us strong and bold?

But which among us could deny
If we knew what lies in store
That we would be willing to accept
And to ask for one day more
