It does not really matter if you were not good enough br Since you really did hang in there though the going for you too tough br Remember there's a difference when one talks of great and good br And though you did not get a place you did the best you could. br br With your performance you feel disappointed and you feel you've left your family and friends down br But only three can fill the important placings 'tis a hard road to renown br You can only do your best that is all anyone can do br And you could not have done better what more can one ask of you? br br They will not be celebrating in the pubs of your Hometown br And you feel like hiding somewhere since you feel you've left so many down br But you did as good as you could do so do not wallow in self blame br When in truth you are a winner then why hang your head in shame. br br People with a narrow outlook may say you failed in the test br But what they say should not matter since you tried your very best br The winners get the adulation and their praises many sing br But they also have their critics jealousy is a strange thing. br br It really should not matter others lose for one to win br And not to have a podium finish should not be seen as a sin br And though you may not have won a medal you gave it your best try br And in truth you are a winner look the World in the eye.
