The teams that emerge from the competition having won by defeating worthy opponents, enjoy the moment of celebrating their journey and their win. There is no time for losers in the moment. Only a time for winners and celebration. When you look in the stands you see that moment clearly. For the champions and for everyone who participated in the season.

That's what I've always felt the meaning of that line to be. After working so hard to get to the competition - and after then making it so far - you don't have time to lose. You want to win.

That's all it is: a song that's three minutes long. It's just a song. A song with lyrics that can be interpreted in many different ways.
I know our FRC team has been to the semi-finals more times than I can remember, and our FVC team has been finalists twice. And like Karthik, I don't feel bad because of that song. It's just a song. If anything, it makes me want to try even harder for next year.
If we really want to cavil over single lines of songs played at a competition as being "un-GP", then that'll probably put everything but Sandstorm and the FIRST Theme Songs out to the pasture. Practically every song with lyrics ever played at a FIRST competition, could have the meaning of at least one of it's lines [mis]interpreted as being "un-GP", or against the "ideals" of FIRST.
