I run my fastest
But still get beat.
I land on my head,
When I should be on my feet.
I try to move forward
But I am stuck in rewind.
Why do I keep at it?
I won't be left behind.
The harder I'm thrown
The higher I bounce.
I give it my all,
And that's all that counts.
In first place,
Myself, I seldom find.
So I push to the limit,
I won't be left behind.
Some people tell me you can't
Some people say don't.
Some simply say give up.
I reply, I wont.
Make the best of each moment
The future is soon the past.
The more I tell myself this
The less I come in last.
And I won't be left behind.
