It Takes Much More Than You Think
Through all the blood sweat
and knee sprains,
You have to work even harder
throughout the pain.
It won’t be easy to
have a great gain
But without the pain,
you won’t even change
Running in the rain.
And sprinting in the sun
knowing that one day
you’ll be number one,
It won't be fun.
It’ll take a lot of work
But the results
are what you’ll prefer,
In the beginning
it’s all a blur.
But one day
you will learn,
everything you have
you have earned.
But what happens
when you stop
will you be proud
or will you not.
Only thing holding you back
is your own thought.
Hold your head high
you’ll get there,
just be ancient and breath the fresh air.
It’s not easy
and never will be,
but the harder worker succeeds,
certainly but slowly.
Just believe in yourself
and play with your heart,
because you will be
on top on the chart.
