When all else fails, when lights grow dim
And hope retreats past broken rim
When silence folds the world in two
And nothing shines the way it used to

Breathe. Just breathe. Let seconds pass
Let pain fall soft like blades of grass
For in the hush of wreck and rain
The soul still hums beneath the strain

When all else fails, when hearts go cold
And dreams collapse or lose their hold
When hands once held now fall away
And even prayers forget to stay

Stand. Just stand. Though knees may shake
Though every fiber longs to break
Some truths outlive the storm’s command
You still are here. You still can stand

When all else fails and night is near
Let courage rise inside the fear
A spark survives in darkest shade
A light that loss cannot unmake

So fail, then rise. Let go, then feel
The wound may weep but still, you heal
For when all else has turned to dust
Still, you remain. And still, you must
