Not a Loser (for Fast Eddie)

Crashing.
Face first.
Headlong and headstrong.
Full of will, and dreams that cannot be still.
Crashing.
Face first - brains last.

Beautiful failure,
try again.
Feel the thrill of dreams that cannot be still.
Be the most blessed,
the smashing success.
Leaping.
Face first.
Headlong and headstrong.

Crashing, smashing
or leaping and dashing.
Carry our hope.
Carry our hope in you.
