Yes, I'm Tired and Weary, for a long Journey I have made,
As I climbed Yonder Hill and then Hobbled up the Steep Grade.
You might say I was Tired and Weary, a rest was in order,
I doubt if I could wait any longer, for that would be harder.
I finished that last long mile way ahead of all the other Guys,
Even though it's late, I realize just how fast the time flies.
Is it any wonder I'm Tired and Weary of the task well done,
Even though I knew it would be real hard to please everyone.
When my task is over, even though the Job isn't yet completed,
I'll continue on, hoping to finish it, I won't ever be defeated.
Although the Grade was steep, the road was Rough and Rocky,
I know, although I'm Weary, I can make it if Im not too Cocky.
So on I go, although Tired and Weary, I shall try to make it,
There is no way in this life, my job, that I will ever Forsake It.
Although ambition is lacking, when I turn and look around,
I shall just dig in, and try to keep my feet on real firm ground.
