Analysis of Dawn Of Victory



With the finish line in sight don't give up the fight
At the dawn of victory don't forsake what's right

With the contender at rest don't give up the quest
At the dawn of victory don't forsake what's best

With the labor pain so near don't give up the cheer
At the dawn of victory don't forsake what's dear

With the pessimist as sign don't give up the shine
At the dawn of victory don't forsake what's fine

With the baggy style at peak don't give up the sleek
At the dawn of victory don't forsake what's chic

With the surrogate in lieu don't give up the true
At the dawn of victory don't forsake what's due

With the table's cold as ice don't give up the dice
At the dawn of victory don't forsake what's nice

With the wealthier so blind don't give up the find
At the dawn of victory don't forsake what's kind
