Скачать или смотреть If By Rudyard Kipling | A Poem Set to Music About Strength And Character

This song is for anyone going through a quiet season of change — rebuilding, reflecting, and becoming someone new.

This reflective piano and tenor vocal song explores:
• quiet strength
• emotional resilience
• personal growth
• healing through music
• life transitions and new beginnings

There are moments when endurance matters more than speed, and steadiness matters more than certainty. This piece reflects the quiet discipline of holding yourself together when the world feels unbalanced. It honors resilience that doesn’t announce itself, and strength shaped by patience, humility, and restraint. These words rest in the space where character is formed slowly, through loss, effort, and self-trust.

Song Title: If
Author: Rudyard Kipling

If 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;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

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;
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:

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;
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!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Thank you for spending this time here, listening closely and without hurry. May this music sit with you as a steady companion while you continue forward, one deliberate step at a time.
