Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story

Of that quick-footed young man so talented in the game of basketball

Who since before he could walk,

Worked and planned out his goal

Of making it on the high school basketball team.

He saw the highly skilled professionals

And learned the skills of many talented men

And weathered many bitter nights and days

In his deep heart on the court while he fought only

To become better than all the others.

So to one day play on the hardwood of his future high school.

For that is the dream of many.

No, he would not let his dream be only a dream.

In order to make the team, he knew

He would have to be the best, Muse...The very best.

Countless hours of hard work and learning the game

For sweat becoming a part of his daily routine.

Until that fateful day came when it was tryouts.

Knowing he would have a spot on the team.

Knowing that he had worked harder than all the other wanting boys.
