I run my fastest
But still got beat
I land on my head
When i should be on my feet
I try to move forward
But i'm stuck in rewind
Why don't i keep at it.
I won't be left behind
The harder i am thrown
The higher i bounce
I give it my all
and that's all that's counts
In first place, i seldon find
so i push to the limit
I won't be left behind
Some people tell me you can't
Some say don't
Some simply give up
I reply, I won't
Locked down away in my future
My happiness is my excellment
I wont be left behind
Make the best of each moment
The future is soon the past
The more I tell myself this
The less I come in last
Throughout my competitions
I've learned what winning is about
And plain and clear lessons
Giving up is the easy way out
So every night before i go to bed
I hope in a small way i have shined
Tomorrow is a brand-new day
And I won't be left behind
