Many believe the prize is a large stack of cash
It’s a piece, but greenbacks aren’t the whole picture.
Hand in the air, emotion strikes like a flash;
Another step toward a known household fixture.
There’s a heavy toll for a run to the top;
For most, an overcast journey makes them stop.
Many hurt and need help to not go astray;
A voracious need for success paves the way.
