歌詞如下：
Chorus:
My friend, don't be discouraged
Don't let your life be in vain
Though you've been up, and you've been down
You'll find a way when you can
Verse 1:
Sometimes you'll feel so alone
With all the world at your feet
And all the road seems to be long
But remember my friend, it will mend
Chorus:
My friend, don't be discouraged
Don't let your life be in vain
Though you've been up, and you've been down
You'll find a way when you can
Bridge:
It's easy to lose heart
When all seems to be lost
But just remember my friend, it's a test
To help you understand
Chorus:
Your hope is not lost
You can get up and stand
Your trials are over soon
Your Jesus is all that you'll come to now
Verse 2:
So never, never let it go
Until you come to Jesus your God
Though all around may appear to be in confusion, he knows what you need to do
Chorus:
My friend, don't be discouraged
Don't let your life be in vain
Though you've been up, and you've been down
You'll find a way when you can
Outro:
So my friend, don't give up hope
He is with you every day
He will never leave you nor forsake you, so hold on tight.
