Mental Block

i hit a wall today
in the middle of my regular routine
i became afraid to fall today
i couldn't get my feet to leave the beam
i had my first thought today
that i'd fall down and never again be seen
everything changed today
i've lost my will as the engine of this machine
i hit a wall today
i hit a wall today

Retired at Thirteen

i know when i became a teen
i was proud of being 13
i was the oldest on my team
i know when i became a teen
something changed inside of me
i was the most fearful on my team
when i became the most fearful on my team
i was left to watch my own routines
while coach tossed daring 9-year-olds on beam
now i know he was not trying to be mean
it's just the negligence was unforeseen
i'd thought i wouldn't need retire till 18

Muscle Memory
01:18
|
|||
the strength inside your arms will only last a while
the strength inside your ankles sure will wither
but you will never stop the memory in your bones
the memory of the feeling you're together
the strength inside your hips may fall out of line
the strength inside your back may make you crooked
but please never forget the memory in your head
the memory of the pain that you could weather
the strength inside your knees will surely bend and crack
the fearlessness you had will soon seem senseless
but at least locked deep inside you will always have
the memory of the time when you were better

Great Big Brand New Body
01:12
|
|||
my legs are longer than a year ago
now it takes longer to reach to touch my toes
long legs look pretty when split on beam or bars
but it's hard to tumble when your feet must move so far
run great big feet
i still run as fast as i can
jump great big feet
i still leap as high as i can
