My Very Best
Waking up in the morning, having the same routine everyday
The only exciting thing about it is swim
Once that clock hits 4:30 I know it's time to get ready
5 o’ clock hits I put on my suit, slip on my cap, dive into the water and begin my first lap
Every lap I do relieves my stress
I flip turn here, hold my breath there
It's the smell of chlorine
and the push off the wall.
It’s the rhythm
It’s the breathing
That makes me work harder each and everyday
From start to finish I swim my best
At the end of the day it’s sad,
Knowing that I have to wait another 24 hours to swim my very best.
Waking up in the morning, having the same routine everyday
The only exciting thing about it is swim
Once that clock hits 4:30 I know it's time to get ready
5 o’ clock hits I put on my suit, slip on my cap, dive into the water and begin my first lap
Every lap I do relieves my stress
I flip turn here, hold my breath there
It's the smell of chlorine
and the push off the wall.
It’s the rhythm
It’s the breathing
That makes me work harder each and everyday
From start to finish I swim my best
At the end of the day it’s sad,
Knowing that I have to wait another 24 hours to swim my very best.
