Going for gold

THE GUN BLAST
I SET OFF AT A PACE REALLY FAST
MY BODY IS PUMPING MY HEART IS COLD
IM SETTING THE PACE,IM GOING FOR GOLD
AS I RUN ALONG KEEPING MY HEAD CLEAR
I SEE THE FINISH LINE IS VERY NEAR
I FINISH THE RACE AND LOOK AT THE CROUD
I SEE AUSRTALIANS LOOKING PROUD
I LOOK UP AT THE SKY WITH A TEAR IN MY EYE
WISHING THIS MOMENT WILL NEVER DIE.
