You never promised wisdom
You never promised love
You never promised happiness
Would drift down from above

You never promised vigor
You never promised health
You never promised dreams fulfilled
Or easy paths to wealth

You never promised friendship
You never promised time
You never promised talent
Profundity sublime

All You gave was chances
A garden raw and bare
In making us, You gave Your trust
A burden we can bear.
