Blood, Sweat and Tears

Blood, sweat and tears
The mark of hard-earned years 
Every drop is needed to earn 
The proceeds of the dream we yearn

Blood, sweat and tears 
The seal that love bears
Each drop does not build the trait 
Of greed, envy and hate

Blood, sweat and tears 
The forces that drive the sacrifices we make
For each dream we chase
The scars we bear with pride
For the battles we won and tried

Blood, sweat and tears
The proof of our dedication 
The hard work we put in
To turn our dreams into a win

Blood, sweat and tears 
The expression of pain
The influence that tell the story 
Of victory, defeat and glory
