Patience My Friend

Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame
But you endure and will come out stronger in the end
Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same

Is this due to weakness or who is too blame
What is broken possibly will never fully mend
Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame

In the course of events is where we play the game
We will be challenged to which direction do we tend
Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same

In the end of our trials we can ultimately end in shame
Our morals and beliefs like dust in the wind
Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame

However my friend in the end you gain your fame
Of your faith, hope, dreams and conscience you do not lend
Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same

Triumphant, courageous, steadfast, all associated with your name
The very things you hold dear you don't break nor bend
Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame
Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same
