The last dance
Away from the water
I led soldiers in prayer
But instead of soldiers they were players in a game
At this point nothing mattered
But the one common goal they all shared
They had worked several months to get to this place
In the rink and away from the rink it's the only thing that was on there mind
They knew what they needed to do
But they knew it was not an easy task
Like every team they had there problems
But for this one game
they set that aside
It was almost perfect
Seeing all these guys
Who have been through so much, come together
For just this one game
And what mattered now was winning at all costs
Letters on a jersey meant nothing now
What mattered was giving everything you have
And playing for the guy next to you
They were in control of the game
But struggling to score
The goalie had come prepared for a battle
The only thing that could stop them was one man
But even though they had controlled the game
They still couldn't find a way to score shots being 50-17
When the game had ended everyone was in disbelief
One man had just saved his team
The only game all season
that this great team
Had not found the back of the net
It was all over now everything they worked for had come to an end
