Demanded and Empty-Handed
Demanded and Empty-Handed
On themselves, so much they had demanded
But from Olympics came home empty-handed
After all of the sincere effort they had put in;
In four years, will have to do it over again.
Many things we all may have to face
If you finished either fourth or fifth place
A medal might never be in your sight
And will pray to win one again tonight.
