I open the rejection letter

and hope it all will get better

while I gave out heart and soul

that in of itself does not consul

for I waited just too long

and yet I still did it wrong

but I can still go on

and I must still go on

I open the rejection letter

and hope it will all get better

I gave them a story so true

and yet somehow I knew

so I sink back into my work

and hope that up I shall jerk

but I can still go on

and I must still go on

I open the rejection letter

and hope it will all get better

rejection betters us all

so to live up to a matter so tall

I guess it is better this way

so I'll be better on that day

so I can still go on

and I must still go on
