Brian Aji - To Be A Champion

To be a Champion is no simple task,
You gotta be quick, you gotta be fast.
Gotta be able to knock down a big shot,
Gotta try your best to let your opponent not.
Yes, to be a Champion, you gotta be good,
But I wanna make sure it's understood:
The journey you take is no easy one,
It's not quick, and it's not fun.
At many times it can get very lonely,
But you gotta prove that you're no phony.
Everything about it is real humbling,
Often you'll find your mind stumbling.

If you can stick with it,
If you can pull through,
You'll rise above all,
Like the Champions do.
Champions take the ring with pride inside,
Most of them have even cried.
Thoughts of the journey race through a Champion's mind,
Of that big trophy he'd hoped to find.
A Champion thanks God for all He's done,
He gives Him the glory, honors the Blessed Three in One.

Mindful of his recent feats,
Does a Champion brag?
No, he repeats.
