The Will To Win

[00:05.35] If you want a thing bad enough

[00:13.63] To go out and fight for it,

[00:17.14] Work day and night for it,

[00:22.14] Give up your time and your peace and

[00:25.41] your sleep for it

[00:28.44] If only desire of it

[00:32.71] Makes you quite mad enough

[00:35.47] Never to tire of it,

[00:38.48] Makes you hold all other things tawdry

[00:43.75] and cheap for it

[00:45.75] If life seems all empty and useless without it

[00:50.51] And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

[00:55.77] If gladly you'll sweat for it,

[01:00.29] Fret for it, Plan for it,

[01:04.56] Lose all your terror of God or man for it,

[01:09.07] If you'll simply go after that thing that you want.

[01:16.10] With all your capacity,

[01:18.85] Strength and sagacity,

[01:22.11] Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,

[01:29.37] If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,

[01:35.39] Nor sickness nor pain

[01:38.14] Of body or brain

[01:40.66] Can turn you away from the thing that you want,

[01:45.68] If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,

[01:53.45] You'll get it!
