UNDERDOG

I Walk Out Into The Arena

With Everyone Looking At Me

I Don't Have That Spring In My Step

But I Have A Dream In My Heart

Glint In My Eyes

And A Will To Turn The Tide

None In The Crowd Thinks I Stand A Chance

My Friends Pray That I Live Through The Ordeal

The Others Laugh And Mock At Me For My Audacity

But I Have Nothing To Prove, Nothing To Lose,

Just A Will To Hang On, The Skills To Survive,

An Opportunity To Shock, And A Desire To Upset The Odds

But Boy, When I Get Going

And When I End Up Slaying The Giant

The Look I See On Everyone's Faces

Is Something To Relish

Victory Is So Much Sweeter When No One Gives You A Chance

There's Immense Pleasure In Doing Well What People Say You Can Not Do

There's Heavenly Bliss In Becoming The Hero That No One Saw Coming

Ain't So Bad Being The Underdog.
