**Verso 1:** If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too **PrΓ©-RefrΓ£o:** Oh, the storms we weather In the ties that bind together **RefrΓ£o:** If you can dream and not make dreams your master If you can think and not make thoughts your aim If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same **Verso 2:** If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools **PrΓ©-RefrΓ£o:** Oh, the lessons we learn In the pages that we burn **RefrΓ£o:** If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss **Ponte:** If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" **RefrΓ£o:** If you can dream and not make dreams your master If you can think and not make thoughts your aim If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same **Final:** If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue Or walk with Kingsβ€”nor lose the common touch If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you If all men count with you, but none too much [instrumental Guitar solo] [outro]
