What is it in victory that spurs us on?
Rising above the champion’s song
Where heart and eyes meet in lust
Tears within truth release in us
Victory…and we jump too our feet
One true voice screaming against defeat
Spirited release beyond care as we feel it
Something inside rises above the spirit
Victory… Victory…Victory…
.
Exhaust from the lungs empty out
Palms turning up without any doubt
Wet eyes searching skies
Awaiting the prize
I find myself so alive
I must shout
Vic…to…ry!
.
There is no pain
But something to gain
A chance to reach glory
Not on T.V. not in a love story
In a lifetime of defeat
We get one chance to seek
Our champion within
To wear the crown like a friend
You can see it…you must seize it
Victory!
.
In through the nose air rushes
Out through the eyes water gushes
Muscle and brain way over strained
The loud crowd suddenly hushes
Holding the breath creating your best
It’s why victory is held above us
All the be fore’s we slept with defeat
Eyes now rise where hand and heart meet
The music starts your national anthem
Days and nights working so hard and long
But on this stand there’s nothing wrong
Here comes that swelling pride within your crying eyes
Letting your spirit fill the whole sky you arise
To meet Victory
And the gold
.
Never again will you be any more or less than this – the very best!
