The strive in life is forever a race We line to hear the sound of barking guns We in sprinting blocks, the sweat in face Because we know we have to be number one We feel that spark, arise to sprinter’s stance The hands to box the air, to grab that inch. We fall behind, and think we lost that chance. And then we see the one in  front of us flinch This chance  is close  and so illustrious The finish line is coming up too fast to stop. As we approach, a burst of legs beats us. And we receive medals, but not the top. To have the grace in loss is important Because winning is great, but its better to be a sportsman.

We line to hear the sound of barking guns
The strive in life is forever a race We line to hear the sound of barking guns We in sprinting blocks, the sweat in face Because we know we have to be number one We feel that spark, arise to sprinter’s stance The hands to box the air, to grab that inch. We fall behind, and think we lost that chance. And then we see the one in  front of us flinch This chance  is close  and so illustrious The finish line is coming up too fast to stop. As we approach, a burst of legs beats us. And we receive medals, but not the top. To have the grace in loss is important Because winning is great, but its better to be a sportsman.
