Some Will Rise, Others Will Falter

Adversity introduces a man to himself.

It’s in that moment, we get to find out who you really are.

We get to stare into your soul and see what you’re made of

It’s then when we get to see whether your talk is cheap

Whether you have the strength and courage

It’s in that moment, when we get to see what it is you value

What you stand for,

Because everyone is ok when things are going well, 

But when things begin to falter, the truth is quickly revealed.

Some will rise and conquer

Others will look for a way out, for an excuse

And sell their souls to the devil

You must look at yourself in the mirror and decide which you want to be.

Because the stakes have never been higher, 

And the world has never relied on you more.
