Could you stay the same
Many years away
When glory in the flames
And faith has gone astray

Will you be the same
Many miles away
When love’s so badly failed
And you’ve got no word to tell
To make her come back

Can you stay the same
When parents in the grave
And you will never see
your daddy’s friendly face

When mom’s kind reply
Won’t calm you in the night
And home will never hear
Her childish joy, delight

Will you be the same
When friends will claim your wealth
They shut the door before you
And tell to go away

Will i be the same
when this poem’s dead
and no one will remember
pretty words i’ve said

can you stay the same
when hit by success
all acclaim your name
and dance with no recess

Would you be the same
after pouring rain
when drops had crawled your ears
and washed away your  brain

is there place to hide
in the raging storm
down the ocean’s tide
under the warmth of stones

will you be the same
when failure strike you lame
you seek refuge
from overwhelming shame
people will point their fingers
and say you're out of game

i doubt you can decide for sure
in failure, grief, success or glory
you stay the same
and will endure
no being sorry,
no giving way to worry,
relentless, strong and wise

would you stay the same
never looking back
With uncertain future
And forgotten past

Will you still be praying
When thrown into hell
For sins you’ve not committed
And thoughts you’ve never had
Or will you keep faith in God
When no evidence is given
Knowing deeds you’ve done
Will never be forgiven

Can you love a person
Despite the conditions
On any circumstances
Regardless admonitions
When you’ve spent everything
But received no prize
Would you be determined
To make another try
