If from Rise by BRAVEWATER

If you can keep your head when all those around you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
but give allowance for their doubting too
If you can wait, but not be tired by the waiting
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies
Or being hated don't give way to hating
And don't look too good, or talk too wise

If you can dream, but not make dreams your master
If you can think, but not make thoughts your aim
If you can meet triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same
If you can bear to hear the truth that you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make traps for fools
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken
Bend down and build them up with worn out tools

Oh you will be the one
Oh you will be the one
Oh

If you can make one heap of all of your winnings
Risk it in one turn of pitch and toss
Lose start again from your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss
If you can force your heart, your nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold one when there is nothing left in you
Except the will, which screams carry on

Oh you will be the one
Oh you will be the one
Oh you've been waiting for, My Love

If you can speak with crowds and keep your virtue
Or walk with kings nor lose common touch
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you
If all men count with you, but none too much
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With 60 seconds worth of distance run
Then yours is the earth and everything in it
What's more is you will realize you are hers, My Love

Oh you will be the one
Oh you will be the one
Oh you've been waiting for, My Love

You are the one, the one, the one, the one, the one
You are the one, the one, the one, the one, the one... you've been waiting for
