Below is the lyrics and link to the song “Win” by Brian Mc Knight that I choose as my artifact. The song is about never giving up.

"Win" by Brian Mc Knight

Dark is the night I can weather the storm Never say die I've been down this road before I'll never quit I'll never lay down, mm See I promised myself that I'd never let me down [1] - I'll never give up Never give in Never let a ray of doubt slip in And if I fall I'll never fail I'll just get up and try again Never lose hope Never lose faith There's much too much at stake Upon myself I must depend I'm not looking for place or show I'm gonna win No stopping now There's still a ways to go, oh Someway, somehow Whatever it takes, I know I'll never quit, no no I'll never go down, mm, mm I'll make sure they remember my name A hundred years from now [Repeat 1] When it's all said and done My once in a lifetime will be back again Now is the time To take a stand Here is my chance That's why I'll... [Repeat 1] Mmm, I'm gonna win
