It’s better to stand when the wind wants to knock you down
Keep your head in the clouds before it’s kept underground
The challenge may be high, but nothing’s impossible
Learn how to play and all your dreams will follow
Understand who you are, who you aren’t, and who you can be
And know why you fight, and from what you must be freed
Learn to discern the world’s poisonous pride, lust, and greed
From the beauty it grants for that final push to succeed
