'Winners don't quit'

When we say "winners don't quit"
It is another way to reveal that there are an open space-
An open space after the long tunnel.
For the soul's shadow that is betrayed by his strength,
And for the sun that lost in the wilderness of a day.
Maybe lines weaved in first space doesn't reveal much,
But when we say "winners don't quit"
It is another way of telling each soul,
Of how "Failure" is an angel before winning
How many red ink is just a step before a "Sun" of after a cloudy sky
And how fire is just a beautification of gold,
If today doesn't mark end in running.
