The Will To Win

If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,

Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace
And your sleep for it.

If only desire of it,
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,

Makes you hold all other things tawdry
And cheap for it,

If life seem all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and dream about it

If gladly you'll sweat for it,
Fret for it,
Plan for it,

Lose all your terror of God and man for it,
If you simply go after that thing that you want,

With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,

Faith, hope and confidence,
stern pertinacity,

If neither cold poverty,
Famished and gaunt,

Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain

Can turn you away from the thing that you want,
If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,

You'll get it!
