Always Stand Tall

Love is holding on
When it seeems your world is going down in smoke.
Faith is believing
Even though it seems there's nothing there at all.
Hope is looking to the end
Of a tunnel full of twists and bends,
Straining your eyes to finally see the light.

Who you are today depends on
The decisions you made yesterday.
Did you hold on tight? Did you find the light?
Whose shoulder did you lean on as you slowly found your way?

Innocence is finding joy
Slowing down your day to see the beauty in your life.
Pride is seeing who you are
Accepting and utelizing all your strengths and fears.
Courage is standing proud and tall,
Giving no ground despite it all,
Refusing to let the pain around you push you to your knees.

What you become in your life
Is made up of all your previous choices.
Did you turn the other cheek? Were you mild and meek?
Have you given the impression that you will never fall?

Love, faith, hope... innocence, pride, courage...
Stay true to your feelings, no matter who stands against you.
Make sure you stay on the path winding straight and true.
Never give up, always stand tall,
Remember who you are, and you will never fall.
