Character lyrics

Character is the strength within

Not equal for all men, in living

Nor equal in their dying as well

The inner fortitude from failure

For victories alone teach little

An easy road brings on lethargy

What is fraught with struggle

Hardens the hide of the spirit

The weeping wounds heal o'er

An asset in times of turmoil

When others may falter fast

Experience and righteousness

Those that tarry, spill and sputter

As the weak of winter wilderness

Fall prey to truth's stone cold fate

Character is the strength within

Not equal for all men, in living

Nor equal in their dying as well
