one shining moment

image via wit + delight

the ball is tipped and there you are. you're running for your life. you're a shooting star. and all the years, no one knows just how hard you worked, but now it shows. 

one shining moment, it's all on the line. one shining moment, there frozen in time.

but time is short and the road is long. in the blinking of an eye, that moment is gone. and when it's done - win or lose - you always did your best because inside you knew.

one shining moment, you reached deep inside. 

one shining moment, you knew you were alive.

feel the beat of your heart. feel the wind in your face. 

it's more than a contest. it's more than a race.

and when it's done - win or lose - you always did your best because inside you knew.

one shining moment, you reached for the sky. one shining moment, you knew. 

one shining moment, you were willing to try.
