One foot forward at the start line
elbows out to be prepared,
On your marks then he lift's
the gun up there's no time to be scared
Taking off like a bolt of lightening
nothing but the winning trophy in sight,
Losing is not an option
I won't give up without a fight
Born and bred to hunt
I take my prey out one by one,
Dipping at the finish line
I can't believe it but I've won
Standing on the podium
a sense of anti climax deep inside,
I know now it's not about the end result
but the passion and the pride
Why didn't I feel the breeze?
or the grass beneath my feet,
Instead of letting the ego
convince me there is nothing worse than defeat
Competing in packed arenas
not being able to hear a scream or a shout,
It doesn't take a genius
to know that's not what life's about
Life is about the journey
it's not a sprint or race,
Stop slow down and sense the world
each moment just embrace
