Everyone's A Winner

Everyone's a winner,

they say to you and me.

Everyone's a winner,

just look around and see.

Everyone's a winner,

and no one ever fails.

No one really feels a loss,

or the pain that it entails.

Everyone's a winner,

be it silver bronze or gold.

Everyone's a winner,

no one's left out in the cold.

Everyone's a winner,

even those way down the line.

They may get no recognition,

but they did their best this time.

Everyone's a winner,

no matter where they place.

Everyone's a winner,

after all, they ran a race.

Everyone's a winner,

when they've done the best they could.

They may not have a trophy,

but some paper's just as good.

Everyone's a winner,

that's what I hear them say.

Everyone's a winner,

at the end of the day.

Everyone's a winner,

sometimes is hard to hear.

When only three stand up above,

and the rest stand way down here.

Everyone's a winner,

persistently they cry.

Everyone's a winner,

as long as they just try.

Everyone's a winner,

can sound of bitter pain.

When you're the one who fell behind,

and never held a gain.

Yes, everyone's a winner,
they shout it loud and fast.

Everyone's a winner,

but the guy who came in last.
