In the first few minutes you were full of fire
As the time clock ticked, you grew tired

Waiting for the coach to send in a sub to take your place
You wipe the sweat from the brim of your face

You try to keep up with the rest of the feet
Breathless, tired and needing a drink
You're down by two and can't keep the beat

They need you now, more than you know
One last shot...then we can go
That's all you can say
Thats all you can think

You're giving your all
You're trying your best
Forget that it hurts and do your job

Remember your father is watching..you must make him proud
The team is depending on you, so is the crowd

You're burning with fire, it's all up to you

One more shot is all we need
The ball's in your court
They travel your way
Take a deep breath, don't pass away

Remember your form, plant your feet
Don't be afraid to watch and see

Silence is deadly..the gym is a corpse
The last half is deadly
But your living this sport.
