I run my fastest
But I still get beat
I land on my head
When I should be on my feet
I try to move forward
But I am stuck in rewind
Why do I keep at it?
I won't be left behind

The harder I am thrown
The higher I bounce
I give it my all
And thats all that counts
In first place
I seldom ever find
So I push to the limit
I won't be left behind

Some people tell me I can't
Some say don't
Some simply give up
I reply, I won't

The power is here
Locked away in my mind
My perseverance is my excellence
I won't be left behind

Make the best of each moment
The future is soon the past
The more I tell myself this,
The less I come in last
Throughout my competition
I've learned what winning is about
A plain and clear lesson
Giving up is the easy way out

So every night before I go to bed
I hope in some way I have shinned
Tomorrow is a new day
And I won't be left behind
