Who are we?

Something to think about

Who are we?

When confidence departs us
and courage takes to flight.
When those who have stood with us
give up the will to fight.
When many have decided
to look the other way
and those who once believed us
start doubting what we say.
Then we become a people
who can no longer be,
the one for telling others
Hey you can follow me;
-
No matter how we say it
we never will be more,
than what we have decided
is worth the dying for.
And those who live around us
are better served by far,
if we will keep on doing
that which we say we are.
If confidence departs us
and courage takes its flight,
then we will join the others
who slipped into the night.
