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
