when stamina goes away
and there's no lighted way
when the world leaves you behind
and there's no concentration in your mind
when there's no hope in your heart
and your aim is far apart
when the people laugh at you
and the virtues done are few
when you are hated by one and all
and none is ready to hear your call
when the devil is on your head
and the angel inside you is dead
oh! then GOD takes your place
and helps you in every race
