Analysis of Once You Won
Feryal Rashdi 1996 (Kandiaro)
Once You Won
Here I am all alone,
With a sad similar tone,
Singing an old emotional song,
Making new decisions' zone,
Feeling the heartburn inside
Breaking the rules' bone,
Carrying a burden of memories,
To turn back the pain's loan,
Knowing no place to go
Wandering through roads unknown,
Leaving back that, "but, if, look and maybe,"
Started to walk and taking a chance,
And
I won't let it be again,
If once you won.
