Institutional walls, the lights blink on, The forms pile high, the lines stay long. There’s no stardom, no headlines, no rush Just do the work, just keep showing up. Not every day’s a victory lap, But every day’s another chance. You must show up, stay steady Adding time credit is how you last. keep showing up, when it’s slow, when it’s tough. Just keep showing up, And that’ll be enough. Bad news breaks, the phones all ring, policies shift, but you can’t backswing. You can’t change policy; you must stay put You keep fighting — just keep showing up. No bright signs, no easy wins, You lose plans, you start again. Every day you can make the cut, Every day, just keep showing up. keep showing up, You win when you don’t stop. Just keep showing up, And that’ll be enough. No medals for the forms you file, No accolades when you clear the aisle. Someone’s got to keep the lights above, Someone’s got to keep showing up. Keep showing up when motivation’s thin, Keep showing up when you just can’t win, Step by step, when it’s all too much, You get to retire if you keep showing up. one more dawn, you keep showing up. one more step, you keep showing up.
