Steady And Slow

You throw one punch
They knock you down
That's when you first meet the ground

You throw ten more
Knocked down again
The ground may have found a friend

You go two rounds
Then go two more
Really learn to love the floor

The more you lose
The more you learn
Choose, don't refuse the burn
And every scar is one you've earned

Give me an inch don't promise me a mile
Give me an ounce don't sell me on a ton
Steady and slow may not be what's in style but
That's how you build it and own it when you're done…

Defeated once?
That's everyone
First time you jump the gun

Defeated twice
Now that's a start
Third makes a bitter heart

Once you hit ten
You start to find
Winning's a waste of time

You learn much more
Each time you lose
If you never tried at all then you'd be undefeated too…

Give me an inch don't promise me a mile
Give me an ounce don't sell me on a ton
Steady and slow may not be what's in style but
That's how you build it and own it when you're done…
