If you love something, set it free....If it comes back, it was meant to be...If it continues to fly...let it soar...And have faith that God has something better in store...

Sick of being second place
Tired of being last
Done with people knowing me
Only for my past
Need to do something
To shine above all
If I refuse to try
I am sure to fall
No more second place
Got to pick up my game
If I stop trying
I will always stay the same
