They Say He's a Loser

Lulu De Silva they say he's a loser
That he's not worth a dime 
But they don't know his story 
Or the battle he won over time 
They see him as failure, without any real success 
But they don't know the strength he has
Or the way he always does his best
They judge him by his looks 
Or the mistakes he made before 
But they don't know his potential 
Or the passion he has in store 

So let them call him a loser and underestimate his power
For with each critic and setback 
He grows stronger by the hour 

He will show them what he's made of 
And prove them all wrong someday 

For a true winner is one who rises 
Despite what others may say.
