We gotta live; We gotta live!

We gotta live; We gotta live!
No matter what, to us happens;
Our days on earth must still linger;
Though we lose our limb and finger;
Let eyes blind be; our ears hear not;
Our mind fear-filled; our legs won’t start;
Disease or strife, poverty rife;
Preserve we must, our precious life.
Organs may fail, failures may come;
With Hope men live and great become;
Disfigured though, our parts remain,
We trudge our way in life’s domain.
Wearily walking every lane,
We may fall down but rise again;
We gotta live; We gotta live!
We gotta live because we came;
God is our Guide, let us all strive;
Though life proves a treacherous game;
We gotta live; We gotta live!
Our life is His; In Him we live!
