Towards a Win
An entrepreneur is tested in court.
[Chorus]
What did he do to say?
Time continued again
It was his way
To step towards a win
[Verse 1]
His strength was bereft he had nothing left
To keep going without knowing
The weight and the heft
of the money flowing
He kept trying to protect his firm
He knew about the state
Trying to construct a berm
And classify him as second rate.
When he could have died
He never gave up his merit.
He did, never tried
Until the time came to share it.
[Chorus]
What did he do to say?
Time continued again
It was his way
To step towards a win
[Verse 2]
When they accused him of fraud
He knew what was true.
The accusations remained broad
And the allegations, undue.
His lawyers knew the might.
With every inch
He stood the fight
And the rest seemed a cinch.
He found himself in court
And after all
He battled like vessels before port.
His not guilty plea, his constant call.
Chorus
What did he do to say?
Time continued again
It was his way
To step towards a win
[Verse 3]
The jurors deliberated with intent
The hours melted in space
He felt even more spent
And the trial scrawled across his face.
To take the whole proceedings, drained
It made him feel the case
As the king of the board reigned.
Who was this new piece in chess?
A feeling gnawed at him.
Would the witness confess
And leave him stranded on a limb?
[Chorus]
What did he do to say?
Time continued again
It was his way
To step towards a win
[Bridge]
Inside the mind he knew the game.
Everything just felt the same.
He wanted reason to be his guide.
He kept close to the idea and never lied.
Between the amount of everything rude.
He never suffered to break his mood.
[Chorus]
What did he do to say?
Time continued again
It was his way
To step towards a win
[Verse 4]
As the verdict delivered in the morning,
He knew that he had to remain tight.
There was no exact warning
Given whether his life would turn to night.
It felt like jaws clenched and sweat
Rolled down necks.
He nonetheless, preserved like a bet.
There appeared to be no wrecks.
Nothing could crush his defense.
Everything seemed to be on his side.
The jurors read the verdict with sense.
And the fear inside him died.
[Chorus]
What did he do to say?
Time continued again
It was his way
To step towards a win
[Verse 5]
As victorious as a businessman could be
He knew about his start.
He also knew his end would be free
His liberty painted across his face like art.
The joy overwhelmed and he leapt
Directly into his woman’s arms
And the love and trust she kept.
He remained removed from what harms.
When he hugged his lawyer it made a scene.
Nothing else presented the need
To be tired, low or lean.
Instead he took charge and the lead.
[Chorus]
What did he do to say?
Time continued again
It was his way
To step towards a win
