Starting Blocks

by Eric Chandaragga   Sep 12, 2013


The starting block is where it happens
The emotions, the butterflies, the deep breathing
It's the last time I see anyone around
It's the last time I hear any sound
"On your marks"
Stretching, breathing, focusing
Envisioning my future
Carving my path
"Set"
This is it, no more looking back
No more holding on, time to go
The rest is history
It's all about what's in front
No more mystery
Hurdles after hurdle I'll make it through
Nothing can stop me from what is true
Hurdle after hurdle I'll get stronger
Can't keep me down for much longer
Hurdle after hurdle I'll stride for my best
Every experience has helped me to beat the rest
Hurdle after hurdle I'll keep moving
Sooner or later I'll get to where I'm going
It's always one hurdle after another
But its always one step forward towards being better
It's no mystery
It's all behind me now
I made history
No more holding on, time is gone
This was it now looking back
"Set"
Carved my own path
Made my future
I was focused, I was ready
"On your marks"
That was the last time I heard any sound
That was the last time I saw anyone around
It was all slow motion
The starting blocks is where it all begins
