You'll win this fight, for you know the rules You'll win this fight, sharpen all your tools You'll win this fight, just practice your craft You'll win this fight, if you stay on the raft There is no one but you who plays like you (stay in the game) You don't need anyone to tell you it's true (stay in the game) For you are one among just a blessed few (stay in the game) God ever knew You'll win this fight, be good to your cause You'll win this fight, never linger in a pause You'll win this fight, you will never let down You'll win this fight, keep eyes on the crown Life is not fair but it has your back (stay in the game) As long as you stay on the right track (stay in the game) Drive like you mean it, don't lose your knack (stay in the game) Never look back You'll win this fight, you are fair and just You'll win this fight, don't lose your trust You'll win this fight, you'll earn your fame You'll win this fight, just stay in the game Don't be afraid this is a bumpy ride (stay in the game) Nothing's ever easy that's worth your pride (stay in the game) When things get rough don't step aside (stay in the game) Swim with the tide You'll win this fight, don't step on anyone You'll win this fight, you are second to none You'll win this fight, don't fall for a sin You'll win this fight, don't gloat when you win You'll win this fight, for you know the rules You'll win this fight, sharpen all your tools You'll win this fight, don't forget to aim You'll win this fight, just stay in the game November 30, 2017 End of the line contest Sponsor: John Hamilton First Place

wow, vijay. It's great to accomplish this. The contest looks so difficult for me. Maybe I can attempt it if I ever have a slowdown with everything I am trying to keep up with. Very rhythmic and GREAT message.
