Song: We are the champions.

What phrases from the song tell us that the singer had a difficult time in the past?

I've paid my dues

Time after time.

I've done my sentence,

But committed no crime

....................

I've had my share of sand kicked in my face

......................

it's been no bed of roses

No pleasure cruise

The singer says ' I've made mistakes'. What sort of mistakes might he have made?

He might have wronged friends, perhaps he is speaking about wrong decisions he took in school or with his family. He might not have noticed when and how to act. He is speaking of his personal life. It's personal - we don't know. All we know is that he was upset by things he should have done in a different fashion.

Who do you think the singer means by you in the third verse?

a) friends and family b) the public c) the media

The singer means everyone whom he met on his path. So the answer is all of the above.

How does the singer feel about the people who have brought him fame?

He is thankful. He also feels a pressure, responsibility, and the difficulty of the task is expected from him:

it's been no bed of roses

No pleasure cruise

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race,

And I ain't gonna lose.

But committed no crime

And bad mistakes

I've made a few

But I've come through

We are the champions, my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions - of the world.

I've taken my bows

And my curtain calls.

You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it

I thank you all.

But it's been no bed of roses

No pleasure cruise

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race,

And I ain't gonna lose.

We are the champions my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end.

We are the champions.

We are the champions.

No time for losers,

'Cause we are the champions.
