Oh it’s so great to be in the race
Running and feeling the sweat drip down my face
Feel the adrenaline rush
How long can I keep up this pace?
The ache in my muscles tells me I’m alive
But why do I keep falling behind?
Look how they go
I left the path and broke the rules
The judges penalized me with a timeout
The other racers sped on but I’ll win
I run and jump and tumble and get up
My appreciation will be higher than theirs
If I finish.
