don’t lose hope when you are losing
don’t fool yourself with your thoughts fading
your mind shows a voice talking to you
tell it what and who are you
you’re brave, strong, and smart
will you cry for not winning a lot?
of course man you are born to win
if you’re a man tear your din!
heap your mind, you’ll hear a thought
see your past, the ways you fought
you’re not a man who wants to lose
change your ways, your thoughts, your views
if born to lose, why were you born?
think your ways, your cries now torn
reap your thoughts as the flaring sun
tear your din, with hope you run!
one day you’ll see your life washed away by tears
stay brave, stay live, tell your heart you’re here
your heart reaps your joy and sorrow
but who you are don’t mind a tomorrow
your words may fall and days fade away
you may be washed along your life’s way
but never let go your hopeful thought
and you will be hailed a lot,
ONE DAY!
