THE CROWN AND THE GLORY

The falling down, the failing

Becomes your crown and glory

It's the effort it took to get back up

That reveals the gold through out your story

There's no shame, if you keep on trying

No matter how many times you fall

But there's no honor, no distinction

If you give up or not try at all

It's really about the effort

The blood, the sweat, the tears

It's tasting the sweet victory

As the crowd begins to cheer

It's knowing, you've given it all 

Just to finish the race

It's bringing home the gold

Even if it's last place

The falling down, the failing

Will become your crown and glory

For only God knows the effort it took

To put the gold in your life's story
