Nobody's tried this one which means it must be difficult. Ergo you don't have to be good to win. So how about this one. I don't know how Boris got in there but he did. Is 'you's' OK as a plural? It looks terrible.

Follow Your Heart

Follow your secret heart and true
Success will surely find you.
Pursue the you that's really you.
Leave other you's behind you.

The you that's true is fresh and new,
Simpatico and shary,
Fit, like a made-to-measure shoe,
For life's itinerary.

Trust in your soul to reach your goal.
Do all the stuff you gotta.
Don't droop in darkness like a mole,
But glisten like an otter.

Who dares to care and dares to dream
Ascends the golden ladder.
Amazing grace will bless your team
And make your spirits gladder.

YOU

There's no one with more love than you,
more talent, humor, grace,
accomplishment or leadership.
You don't just take up space.

And when you die, at Heaven's Gate
the happy news will spread.
Saint Peter, when he welcomes you,
will say, "So glad you're dead!"

YOU


The world begins with you.
And what you see, you own.
And you alone are true.
But you are not alone
