We Are The Champions
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Life is odd with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Do not give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint
and faltering man,
When he who might have captured the victors cup
Backed off in despair and just gave up
And learned too late when the night came down
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out --
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be so near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit,
It is when things seem worst that you just do not quit.
