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

Left Behind
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
