Can’t be playing four-dimensional games when your opponent is playing checkers
How would that be sporting of you, you scoundrel?
Every move should be calculated as if you and your opponent were equal
So you can truly earn that victory and feel good about it
Sorry, did you really believe all that? If you are that foolish, let me challenge you to a game of…
Courting the queen was a dangerous move
Her ability to strike out was legendary, and she was so shifty
Every knight on both sides was hopping about to avoid her
So it was a surprise when she seemed to stumble into a trap by the opposing faction
So while they celebrated their minor victory, their king was brought low
Wings buzzed their warning against the evil death dealer
As it swooped in to get its revenge for the hundreds she had just killed
She screamed and brought up the can of bug spray to finish the job
Perhaps she was more the villain than the hero, but she terminated it and screamed victory
Reach down deep and push it to eleven
As you speed forward toward the finish line
Carving out your niche in history
Expect your victory parade
Popping his shirt in victory
Regaling his opponent with trash talk
It would make most people sick to their stomach
Doing it to his twelve-year-old son, well that was over the top
Extreme hubris was his specialty, and this was his teaching moment

So things are getting pretty tough
That might be an understatement
Really it’s moments like these that define who we are
Understanding how to work past pesky problems
Giving each other a hand and cross the finish line together
Going the extra distance because we choose to do so
Looking forward to sharing stories over a cold one at the pub
Enjoying our victory over this…

Don’t give in. You can do this
Even if they’ve pushed you down ten times, you’ve got to get back up
Finish the race and show yourself who you know you are
Yanking victory from those trolls who didn’t believe

So things didn’t go quite as planned
Everything didn’t come out smelling like roses
The eyes on the prize watched it drift away
But you still are here
And you are able to set new goals
Count the steps you took this time and savor that victory
Knowing you will go farther next time

Casualty numbers kept trickling in
Obscuring the greatness of the victory
Still, Vincent had to admit he’d lost over a quarter of his troops
They sold their lives dearly though
Littering the fertile fields with their enemy’s dead
Years later the soil still held the scent of their sacrificial blood

Reaching down deep for something she didn’t know she had
All of a sudden she blew past her competitors
Catapulting herself to victory
Enabling her to qualify for the next level
