If…
If you
can face the changing world,
with courage and with trust;
if you can overcome all doubt,
and do the things you must;
if you can cling to your own dreams,
believing they’re worthwhile;
if you can weather passing storms,
and never lose your smile;
if you can give as well as take,
and hold your head up high;
if you can keep the joy of youth,
from ever running dry;
if you can open up your heart,
with love that long endures;
then peace and all of life’s sweet gifts,
will happily be yours.
