WHEN YOU GO DOWN
<p><br/></p><p>When you go down</p><p>Who will remember the good your hands once gave</p><p>And bend their knees to lift you</p><p><br/></p><p>When you go down</p><p>How many fingers will rise like arrows</p><p>And say we warned him</p><p>We warned her</p><p><br/></p><p>When you go down</p><p>How many people will circle your weakness</p><p>Like vultures over wounded ground</p><p>How many will look at your hunger</p><p>And see your daughter</p><p>As a bargaining tool</p><p><br/></p><p>When you go down</p><p>Who will remember your kindness</p><p>And say this soul once made me smile</p><p>So stand again</p><p><br/></p><p>In the lowest place</p><p>Where pride is stripped</p><p>And voices disappear</p><p>Only God remains</p><p><br/></p><p>Only the mercy of God</p><p>Speaks your name when humans forget</p><p>Only mercy reminds the world</p><p>Of the heights you once reached</p><p><br/></p><p>Because when you are lifted</p><p>People clap for your strength</p><p>But when you are broken</p><p>Only God’s mercy defends your dignity</p><p><br/></p><p>So when you are up</p><p>Build your nest before the storm comes</p><p>Tie your rope while your hands are strong</p><p>Plant trees whose shade you may need tomorrow</p><p><br/></p><p>Because heights are slippery</p><p>And valleys are patient</p><p><br/></p><p>When you are up</p><p>Prepare a place to land</p><p>Ask yourself in the quiet</p><p>If I ever go down</p><p>Who will lift me</p><p>Or what will I fall on</p><p><br/></p><p>Let mercy be your ground</p><p>Let wisdom be your wall</p><p>Let God be the net beneath your feet</p><p><br/></p><p>For when the wind changes</p><p>And the mountain releases you</p><p>It is not applause that saves a life</p><p>It is what you prepared while the sun was still shining</p>
