I Won

The battle was fought.

They thought I lost,

But I won.

 

Yes, damage to me was done.

But I won.

I won. I won.

I struck the drum.

 

They lost. They lost.

They eat tomato sauce.

I have no boss but

The big guy, who

Tells us all not a lie.

 

Yes, I had to cry,

But I won.

My light shined.

Victory is mine.

I did not decline.

I'm uplifted.

I'm gifted.

 

The battle is done,

And thank God,

I won.
