When a need strikes


When a need strikes, mind not drawbacks
Life kicks the game off hide and seek
How brisk you are counts on the tracks
When a need strikes...

Stop not, though the prospects are bleak
Till you bring off, there's no relax!
Finish it with a stubborn streak

The course may be crooked with tacks
Resolve and let your actions speak
Be a winner in the climax!
When a need strikes...
