lyrics

SWEET VICTORY

There's no win without a painful loss every now and then.
It keeps me on my toes and nobody knows
The fire I have inside- my eagerness to rise.

In the spotlight's glare, I accept the blame and praise opposing forces.
Yet, my insides burn; my fists are clenched. So entrenched is my desire.

There's no sin in falling on your face every now and then.
I'm tattered; I'm not torn. And nobody knows
I'm tired, but not too worn to fight the good fight!

And though these odds are stacked against me and I'm in the critics' crosshairs,
All I need is a dose of courage- I've got my name. I've got my dignity.

I'll spill my blood and shed a million drops of sweat
Just to taste the nectar of a hard-fought triumph

And there are those who doubt you'll go that far.
Their bitterness will taste sweet when you show them who you are.

There's no win without a painful loss every now and then.
It keeps me on my toes and nobody knows
The fire I have inside- my eagerness to rise.

In the spotlight's glare, I accept the blame and praise opposing forces.
Yet, my insides burn; my fists are clenched. So entrenched is my desire.

I'll spill my blood and shed a million drops of sweat
Just to taste the nectar of a hard-fought triumph

When victory's tears are welling in my eyes,
I'll deflect the adulation, cast the credit somewhere else.

There's no sin in falling on your face every now and then.
I'm tattered; I'm not torn. And nobody knows
I'm tired, but not too worn to fight the good fight!
