If Lyrics - Shine - Joni Mitchell

If you can keep your head 

While all about you 

People are losing theirs and blaming you 

If you can trust yourself 

When everybody doubts you 

And make allowance for their doubting too. 

If you can wait 

And not get tired of waiting 

And when lied about 

Stand tall 

Don't deal in lies 

And when hated 

Don't give in to hating back 

Don't need to look so good 

Don't need to talk too wise.

If you can dream 

And not make dreams your master 

If you can think 

And not make intellect your game 

If you can meet 

With triumph and disaster 

And treat those two imposters just the same 

If you can force your heart 

And nerve and sinew 

To serve you 

After all of them are gone 

And so hold on 

When there is nothing in you 

Nothing but the will 

That's telling you to hold on! 

Hold on!

If you can bear to hear 

The truth you've spoken 

Twisted and misconstrued 

By some smug fool 

Or watch your life's work 

Torn apart and broken down 

And still stoop to build again 

With worn out tools. 

If you can draw a crowd 

And keep your virtue 

Or walk with Kings 

And keep the common touch 

If neither enemies nor loving friends 

Can hurt you 

If everybody counts with you 

But none too much. 

If you can fill the journey 

Of a minute 

With sixty seconds worth of wonder and delight 

Then 

The Earth is yours 

And Everything that's in it 

But more than that 

I know 

You'll be alright 

You'll be alright. 

Cause you've got the fight 

You've got the insight 

You've got the fight 

You've got the insight
