To win just once would be enough For those who've lost in life and love For those who've lost their guile and nerve Their innocence, and their drive and verve For those who feel they've been mistreated Discriminated, robbed or cheated To claim one victory inspired To win just once is their desire To win just once To win just once To win just once That would be enough To win just once against the odds And once be smiled on by the gods To race with speed along the track Break the tape and not look back To never have considered losing As if to win is by your choosing Bare your soul for all to find An honest heart and an open mind To win just once To win just once To win just once That would be enough So come all ye full-time small-tower heroes Cast away your in-bread fears of Standing out from all the rest The cynics and the pessimists The self-indulgent almost rich The blatant hurlers on the ditch Time is passing so come on And face the ball, the game is on To win just once To win just once To win just once That would be enough (that would be enough) To win just once To win just once To win just once That would be enough
