The Prize

I thought he was a goner when he took it on the chin
And the man who knocked him down watched the count begin
There was a woman there at ringside with him on his knees
Who saw the future drowning in a sea of memories
And I heard start to shout it as he struggled to his feet
"I still got a winner, Sugar, 'cause you still got me"
When you're down don't let 'em count you out
You can still get up again
You'll never be a loser 'cause you know how to win
There's love and courage in your heart
No matter what they say
That's what makes a winner, babe, and they can't take that away
No, they can't take that away
And I felt just like that fighter struggling for the prize
Tears of desperation swelling up my eyes
You need someone in your corner
When your world is filled with pain
To patch you up, cheer you on, and send you out again
'Cause Life's a constant battle, it'll knock you to the floor
'Til you realize Love is the prize that makes Life worth fighting for
Makes Life worth fighting for
When you're down, don't let 'em count you out
You can still get up again
You'll never be a loser 'cause you know how to win
There's love and courage in your heart
No matter what they say
That's what makes a winner, babe, and they can't take that away
No, they can't take that away
No, they can't take that away from you
They can't take that away.
