a feeling of hope
just a step away
just a breath away
all you need to do
is pray
you've worked so hard
to get where you are
don't give up now
don't stop
just because of a scar
short of breath
muscles full of pain
just ignore the rest
think of the gain
just one more step
one more leap
no more hurdles
i know you feel weak
i know that it's touch
but when the going gets hard
the winners get rough
you have to feel
the need for a win
you have to have
the drive you need to begin
now you're almost there
almost complete
don't succumb
to defeat
a feeling of hope
just a step away
just a breath away
all you need to do
is pray
because you're almost there
