Oh the wonder, the wonder...
When I let nothing pull me under!
The things I can do with endurance, well...
I might even surprise myself!

I had this question running through my head,
I was about to give up, but instead,
In my brain I worked and worked, and I worked it through;
That¹s when I realized what endurance can do!

CHORUS:
Endurance, endurance...
That¹s my greatest insurance!
Life may put me to the test,
But things turn out better when I do my best.
Oh the wonder, the wonder...
When I let nothing pull me under!
The things I can do with endurance, well...
I might even surprise myself!

To great heights a little ant can rise,
When he moves a leaf ten times his size.
And those marathoners,
They don¹t need a lightning pace,
But they all need endurance to finish the race!

CHORUS

So if you hang in there a little longer,
Show yourself that you¹re a little stronger,
It might seem like a thing you that you could never do,
But there¹s one thing that will see you through!

CHORUS

The things I can do with endurance, well...
I might even surprise myself!
