Why does a man, give up the fight?
Why do people, run from the battle?
Do you not know, we cannot lose?
Go ahead, lay down your swords,
And forget who you’re fighting for,
In this time, of utter most need,
You can’t abandon your post,
You can’t give up hope,
You cannot lose sight, of the prize,
Because, though we fight through the night,
The coming dawn, is the coming victory.
