You must stand tall

When dark and deluge shroud you

If thy options seem too far and few.

All around you trap and landmine

Pointing you toward ominous sign.

No easy way out and no one to call

You must, you must still, stand tall.

When dull and drab your only view

If disasters lurk and dangers brew.

The dark cloud loses its silver line

No light rays on thy passage shine.

Lost in the deep and no one to call

You must, you must still, stand tall.

When in harm's way without a clue

If help seems not to come through.

Stalled, nothing, nomore is fit and fine

New tempests signal rapid decline.

Alone and dazed and no one to call

You must, you must still, stand tall.
