I am getting closer
To the time when things go right
This is my greatest fear however
Gives me nightmares late at night

Something has got to give
As I live and breathe
Trying to be someone that clearly I am not
Has got me dropping to my knees

I will pray for Gods help
I will beg and plead
Until I start believing
I have all that I need

Show me there's a glimmer
Of hope I can achieve
A triumphant minor victory
Not unlike the air in which I breathe

I reach but cannot grab it
A forgotten memory
Recalling my lost childhood
Back when I held a lead

When I still had time to catch up
No matter what my speed
The challenge set before me
The final victory
