World's A Hard Nut

In Life sometimes...
Things won't go well ,
And duty's a difficult word to spell ,
But the fellow who sets before his eyes ,
A high ideal as the worthiest prize ,
Will shun the evil and follow the good ,
And say to himself as a brave lad should ,
It only needs grit and I must not lack it ,
The world's a hard nut but I mean to crack it.
