But when you are ardent,

Nothing can get in the way of your victory.

Don’t doubt at yourself

If you’re tenacious

The sky isn’t the limit for you

Things may go wrong, as they will

Don’t lose your confidence,

Believe that you have victory running in your veins.

If there is a way, there is going to be flames

Well, you’re bound to get burnt

But be fearless because these burns will enlighten you.

People may abandon you, thinking you’re crazy

But once you reach the finish line,

You will feel the glory of success

Don’t let fear take you down.

These scars will haunt you

But to learn from it is the lesson.

Be the flames to the fire,

Waves to the ocean, storm to the wind.

Because one day, you will look back and cherish.

When it’s too cold, don’t look for a companion.

Though the storm may rage on,

Be strong and fight until it plays out.

Run till you feet can run no more,

Sing till your lungs can take no more

You never know when the sun comes up and it’s too late.

The fire is perilous

But once you learn to conquer the blaze

You can rise like a Phoenix.
