Play to win, but lose with grace
With dignity complete the race
But lose your balance and where to next?
The game is in a new context
It's tricky but there is a way
And many moves are yet to play
For each and every space in time
Can bring new insight, help you climb
Toward the final post now head
Or else no telling where you're led
The goal is clear and must be sought
And every obstacle will be fought
At last the chance of getting there
The place you thought was lost somewhere
Yet now you see, thanks to the game
The goal was there, it stayed the same
And through the turmoil which you found
On dusty roads and stony ground
You now can find a new way in
Because you chose to play to win
