I WAS THERE


 

It was a time for us to come together

All the world would be there

To make memory that will last forever

I was there

 

The triumphs and tragedies

Brought us together

That was the victory

I was there

 

A moment of historical glory

To achieve a outstanding goal

Strive to the highest point of accomplishment

I was there

 

It was perfect it was positive

The only lost was those who couldn't see it all

They are the losers in these games

I was there to see it all

 

The cheers could be heard for miles around

A smile was on every ones face not one frown

It was too short to make a world hole

I was there; I felt it in my soul
