The heart began pounding
As he was up from his seat,
Like a ball it kept bouncing
But he sure skipped a beat.
Cause with all eyes looking
At the misery that was him,
He could see them laughing
Even with the light little dim.
The others were so stunning
With the looks and the ways,
On stage he felt like running
Off to where no worry stays.
Cause with all eyes looking
At the misery that was him,
He could see them laughing
Even with the light little dim.
The contest had a meaning,
Not for his pride or a fame,
It would come with winning
Which wasn’t an easy game.
Cause with all eyes looking
At the misery that was him,
He could see them laughing
Even with the light little dim.
In his ears though ringing
Were cries of all past pain,
But as he began singing,
Knew what he would gain.
Cause with all eyes looking
At the bravery that was him,
He could see them smiling,
Even with the light little dim.
