The Underdog
Struggling against the tide
atching others enjoy life at the top
Taking the day's challenges all in stride
At those times when we are the underdog
Beating our heads against the wall
Know that there are many like us out there
Whose lives have sputtered, idled or stalled
The best thing about being the underdog
Is that we know "up" is the direction to take
There are obstacles and feats yet to conquer
Dreams to imagine and plans to make
At times it is more fun being the underdog
Witnessing progress through unflappable persistence
The determination we hold ignites our hearts
And inspires us to create our own unique existence
