Victory is in the mind
Passion in the heart
They reside there
Perhaps unneeded
A man lives on
Through many days
Many doggedly plain
And uneventful
But fate calls upon
The sleeping soul
To awaken now
To destiny's tune
Then hum-drum days
Stand aside watching
Awaiting outcome
By word and action
In an instance
A decision made
Will turn the world
And show truth or folly
A victory won
Or a defeat had
Will mark the day
Will scar for life
Regret is unmendable
Glory flutters by fast
The sake of others
Gives each breath meaning
Victory is in the mind
Passion in the heart
They brighten the soul
And stand in the light
