Driven to Win

Knowingly,
I took the fall,
driven within
to achieve this goal.

Eager to
reach my mark,
called into action
by an inner spark.

Playing to win,
I'm gonna get it right,
seek a higher place,
fight the greater fight.
I won't walk away.
It's just a matter of when.
I'm so ready to win.

Nights, all those nights,
all those revisions,
each redesign
driving higher ambitions,

plans on the floor
obscure calculations,
slept in my clothes
in my determination.

Driven to win,
I'm gonna get it right,
make a better place,
fight the greater fight.
I won't turn away.
It's just a matter of when
and I'll do it again.

Pounding the keys
silencing demons,
my progress is slow,
but I must always believe in

my ability,
my agility,
my desire to be free,
and it will be achieved.

Playing to win,
I'm gonna get it right,
make a better world,
fight the greater fight.
I won't shy away.
It's just a matter of when.
I'm so ready to win.

Fights, all those fights,
all my frustration
slowly resolved
through each and every iteration.

I'm going the distance,
seeing the difference
my persistence has made.

Driven to win,
I'm gonna get it right,
reach a higher place,
fight the greater fight.
I won't walk away.
It's just a matter of when
and I'll do it again.
