WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
By: Evelyn Cogdell
For the naysayers
For all those who said
We’d never make it
We made it
For all those who said
We couldn’t do it
We did it
We made it happen
Look at us
Standing tall, being strong
We are the champions
We made it work
They said we’d never overcome
They said we’d never amount to
Anything,
But look at us
We made waves
All are amazed
At how we defeated the enemy
We are the champions
We made it work
We rose from the ashes…
To reach the top of the heap,
We showed them all
We came
We conquered
We are the champions
Our train is on the right track
There’s no turning back
We are the champions
That’s a fact!
And nothing or no one
Can ever change that!
