One year ago he didn't think he ever could
he trained and trained and always came up short
he never thought he ever would
now he is chasing his dreams
wrestling with his favorite team
Camera lights flashing,
hundreds of people clapping.
I did it;
WE did it.
The smiles,
the laughs.
The friendships that will always last.
How did I get so lucky?
Stepping onto that mat;
To be a champion, you need an alli. For every
rival, there's a fight. For every superstar, there's a
hero. For every Carl Edwards, there's a Tony Stewart.
For every winner, needs a victory lane to celebrate in.
There is something about the sound of breath
Something about being so close to death
The sound of all those men panting
The sound of all those men chanting
We appreciate hard work
The feel of metal,
a basketball stuck in your hands,
you basically were born into it.
Your whole life you've dreamt about it.
Your whole life you've pushed for it,
basketball.
You are a winner no matter how small
You are a winner no matter how tall
Physical size don't count
Internal size is what it's about
