After all I’ve done, I still came up short.

No matter how much time I dedicated,

After those long nights of being sore,

I still came up short.

But life is like that.

It was about learning what I lacked.

What matters is not how many times you fail,

But how you come back,get up and bounce back, do not slack.

I wanted to quit so many times,

But it was always you that kept in line, my heart.

I always knew it was the start of something special

And I always knew it was the start of something special

And I always believed I had potential.

I know I had to make sacrifices and keep away from distractions.

There are no breaks, no relaxing.

This means to never give up and to achieve high goals.

The sacrifice- unless you do it, one could never know,

Trying to get to the top, and this sport can sometimes be unfair.

But it gave me a great joy at times in a world full of despair.

In the end i know this much is true –

The sport saved me,

It made me who I am,

Turned me into a lion, when i was just a lamb.

Heart of a champion – here I am!
