If Love Remains

As Matt recovered from another seizure, while he lay there in that deep slumber that follows the complete exhaustion of the event, I thought of one of my favorite songs, that has always resonated deeply with me, when reflecting upon his and other special people's challenges:
If we burn our wings, flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory, is over before it's begun
If the dream is won, though everything is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
When the dust has cleared, and victory denied
A summit too lofty, river a little too wide
If we keep our pride, though paradise is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
And if the music stops, there's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory, all the sacrifice in vain
But if love remains, though everything is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
