Ambition
BY BERTON BRALEY
I'm gonna try to play the game,

I'm gonna try to play the game,
And play it hard and play it fair;
l may not win, but just the same
I'm gonna try to do my share.
l may not always meet the test
AS well as some more clever guy,
But while my heart beats in my
chest
I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try to stand the gaff,
Yet keep my nerve; I'm gonna seek
To love and work and play and laugh
And never show no yellow streak.
I'm gonna struggle to be kind
And not grow hard of face and eye,
I'll flop at times, but never nlind,
I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try to be a friend
|. That folks can trust, and who they
know
Will be the same way to the end,
Whether the luck runs high or low;
I'll hitch my wagon to a star
And set my goal up in the sky,
And though l may not getsthat far,
I'm gonna try.
