The way to win a race                                                                                                                                  You have to start somewhere                                                         There has to be somewhere to begin There may be checkpoints along the way                                                                                                  Hurdles and Speed Bumps                                                                  Granted-- No one said it would ever be easy                                                                                                  No one ever promised that you wouldn't sweat But shouldn't everyone at least have a cheering section?                                                            Someone to chant your name People to sing your praises                                                                                                                                                                In the end All                                                               that                    really                                                                                        matters                                                                                                                                                       is                                                    that             you                                                      won                                                                                           your                                                                                                                                       own race                                                      No matter who kept moving the finish line.
