Sportsman of the Year

SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR

It's a little bit like winning the Sportsman of the Year

You're only 12 you've got big feet and you're a girl

Or you've amassed a great idea and some old dude tells you off

And calls you a big headed fool

I may no longer be pretty or unusually thin

But what I do have

I never given in

It's not that the road you take is long and hard

Or along the way you get dealt some hard cards

You shuffle them around till the purpose and the pain

Form a wave so high you can surf any terrain

And you get getting on

And one funny day you realise the reason

It takes so long to get served at the bar

Is because you're no longer young or fair

And birthdays signify a new sexless age

Where you redefine how you learn to behave

As everyone looks through you now

I may no longer be pretty or unusually thin

But what I do have

I never give in

It's not that the road you take is long and hard

Or along the way you get dealt some hard cards

You shuffle them around till the purpose and the pain

Form a wave so high you can surf any terrain

And you get getting on

The princess years don't last for every and

Your time in the sun only lasts so long

So use it get your act together then

Keep on...

You can keep on keep on getting stronger

You've got that light, let it shine girl

These are your power years

Go on and take them

There's nothing to fear

Just go on embrace them they're yours

These are your power years

Come on and move with them girl

Take it all, take it in

And just assume that they're yours

These are your power years

Come on just shake the tree at them

In the night, in the morning

In everything that you do

These are your power years

These are your power years
