There is no "I" in team,

But rearrange the letters and you get mate.

Play for them and accomplish your dream.

Because you can play for yourself and never be great,

But the moment you stop worrying about yourself,

You can just play the game.

Don't worry about the amount of trophies on the shelf,

Or the money and fame.

Just do you and never forget,

Not to play alone like chess, but still check you mate.
