Lyrics:

                                                  
GRIN AND BEAR IT

Writer: Paul Weylan Deaver

Verse 1:
When life kicks you in the teeth,
The world caves in; you’re underneath,
Don’t go shop for a funeral wreath,
At least not for a while.
There’s still something you can do
To make the worry wrinkles few
And turn the gray skies back to blue;
It’s the science of the smile.

Chorus:
Grin and bear it; grin and bear it.
If you’ve got a heavy load, just share it.
Here’s an idea with real merit:
If your heart’s on your sleeve, that ain’t where you want to wear it.
You may not run trouble away, but the least that you can do is scare it.
Take it on the chin; it’s a fight you might win,
Starting when you grin and bear it.

Verse 2:
Pick that lip up off the floor.
Dig in your heels, then ask for more.
If it were all roses, think what a bore
Day in, day out would be.
Every knock that you endure
Is one less lump in your future.
It all adds up to a practical cure
For immaturity.

(Repeat Chorus)
