at the ...low points

having the floor dropped from us

is a test whether we will rise

to the occasion or fall apart

when things don’t go our way, whether or not we have principles

we live by, not customs or circumstantial alliances,

where we gather showing character measured by our common beliefs

where our true friends will

will not turn us away,

that is the only proof

instead of hogging up glory

lets us live by

our most significant truth

finding real proof

of who we are at our low points

if we can stand

together

there will be no way

for us to fall

apart
