Courage is all it takes
To refrain from gossip
When others delight in it,
To stand up for the absent person
Who is being abused.
Courage is all it takes
To live honestly
Within your means,
And not dishonestly
On the means of others.
Courage is all it takes
To be a REAL man or a TRUE woman,
To hold fast to your ideals
When it causes you
To be looked upon
As strange and peculiar.
Courage is all it takes
To be talked about,
And remain silent,
When a word would justify you
In the eyes of others,
But which you dare not speak
Because it would injure another.
Courage is all it takes
To refuse to do something
That is wrong
Although everyone else
May be doing it
With attitudes as carefree
As a summer song.
Courage is all it takes
To live according
To your own convictions,
To deny yourself
What you cannot afford.
To love your neighbour
As yourself!
