A sport that you will bleed for
a sport that you will sweat a sport that you must love with no regrets
it will make you scream with joy and jump into the air
it will make you burn with pain and ask why are you there
for not all can walk this path, it may not be made for you
for the fire in your heart required is only found in few
what is it the drives us , maybe that medal on your chest
what is it the moves us, is it desire to be the best
what wakes us up early to run and make the weight
what is it that drives us to never stop attempting to be great
is it feeling unbeatable when things fall into place
is it that look of pride that lay on your coaches face
could it be the feeling of being out there all alone
could it be winning and sitting on an unshared throne
for dreams of fame and fortune do not fall upon this path
and for all your work and pain, most shall never see the cameras flash
for that is the beauty, all this work and toil done out of love
a constant journey to always rise above
from any challenge or task we shall never shy
for the life I speak of is of a wrestler
and a wrestler am I
