The road is rough (the road is rough)
But I’ve got to make it
The going is tough (the going is tough)
But I’ve got to face it

Life is not an easy game
I face problems, I feel pain
But this heart inside of me
Keeps me strong, a moving on

The road is rough (the road is rough)
But I'm gonna make it
The going is tough (the going is tough)
But I’ve got to face it

Though they try to keep me down
With God’s help, I'm still around
They even try to capture me
But there was light and so I see

The road is rough (the road is rough)
But I'm gonna make it
The going is tough (the going is tough)
But I’ve got to face it

Many a times, I sit and cry
And often wonder why
Why never good has ever come my way
Still I know there’s got to be a way some day

The road is rough (the road is rough)
But I'm gonna make it
The going is tough (the going is tough)
But I’ve got to face it, yes

The road is rough (the road is rough)
But I'm gonna make it, some way, some day
The going is tough
