[Intro]
[Verse]
In the city's bright lights and the shadows they cast
I've been climbing, sweating, hoping to last
Chances come knocking, but sometimes they're late
While I grind away, I wonder if I'll be great
[Chorus]
Well, you can stake that claim
Good work is the key to good fortune
Winners take that praise
Losers seldom take that blame
If they don't take that game
And sometimes the winner takes nothing
We draw our own designs
But fortune has to make that frame
[Verse]
Days turn into years, and the journey's long
Waking up early, hoping to belong
But the road is tough, and the path is steep
When success seems distant, I keep my hope deep
[Chorus]
Well, you can stake that claim
Good work is the key to good fortune
Winners take that praise
Losers seldom take that blame
If they don't take that game
And sometimes the winner takes nothing
We draw our own designs
But fortune has to make that frame
[Chorus]
Well, you can stake that claim
Good work is the key to good fortune
Winners take that praise
Losers seldom take that blame
If they don't take that game
And sometimes the winner takes nothing
We draw our own designs
But fortune has to make that frame
[Outro]
