One Shot


Just one shot.

Just one chance.

Just one day to shine.

Don't give up.

Don't give in.

It doesn't even matter if you win.

So get up.

Get up

and do your best.

It's all you can do, so forget the rest.

Doesn't matter what they think of you.

Close your eyes.

Close your ears.

Disappear.

God is there. Don't be scared. No one will harm you.

I know it's true.

You know it's true.

Be yourself,

no one else.

Don't you lose your faith.
