The stars are out but the sky is dark <br />Things in the city are hanging in the balance <br />Now that the demons have arrived <br />Having been sent by their master <br /> <br />You and I know that getting home safe and sound won't be easy <br />With the demons everywhere <br /> <br />When the going gets tough <br />We'll have to put our faith in our legs to carry us <br />When the going gets tough <br />We'll have to maneuver, duck, and evade all the fireballs, knives, and shurikens being thrown at us <br />When the going gets tough <br />We'll have to grab whatever weapons we can find <br />Whether it's a pipe or a sword <br />When the going gets tough <br />You and I know that deep down <br />All we have have is each other <br />When the going gets tough <br />We need to have faith in each other <br /> <br />So we run across the rooftops <br />While climbing up the sides of buildings from time to time <br />All the while trying to remain safe and sound <br />All the while trying to avoid the demons <br /> <br />As we run along <br />And good and evil are battling it out tonight <br />The stars shine their brightest over us <br />Whispering to us and offering their trust <br />While declaring this night yours <br />And while declaring this night mine<br /><br />Justin Gildow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-going-gets-tough-2/
