If You Believe

When your mind is set

On a splendid thing you want to do,

Some will shrug,

Like you don't have a clue.

When you proceed,

Some will say it can't be done

And that there is no need

For you to take it on.

And halfway through,

Some may deem your progress small,

Or others will ask if what you're doing

Is even worthwhile at all.

For what others think,

Whether or not you're strong or smart,

Sometimes, doesn't count

As what you believe in your heart.
