John Wetton & Geoff Downes - The Glory of Winning

Up where you hide away
The buildings are tall
Nobody looks at the view
None of your consequences
Dare to be small
It’s a lonely situation
But you said you’d take it till you knew

The glory of winning
Face to face, we circle each other
The glory of winning
Can’t erase the sadness of losing you

Now all you idolize
Is concrete and clay
Where only egos can grow
And each ambition
Is a step on the way
Till you join that congregation
In a place reserved for those who know

The glory of winning
Face to face, we circle each other
The glory of winning
Can’t erase the sadness of losing you

You’re playing to win
You’ll never give in
You’re counting on victory
Now figures and schemes
Are hunting your dreams
And they are the means
To take you away from me

The glory of winning
Face to face, we circle each other
The glory of winning
Can’t erase the sadness of losing you

The glory of winning
Worlds apart, we circle each other
The glory of winning
The sadness of losing you
