On a racecourse
There's a race to reach an end
Someone's calling
The decathlon athlete's name
Further focus
On the discipline applied
Or through constant shifts of exercise
Quatre cents mètres
Saut à la perche
Mille cinq mètres
Cent mètres
Saut en hauteur
Lancer du javelot
Du poids
Et du disque
Cent dix mètres haies
Saut en longueur
There's a battle between the athlete and himself
And between him
And the people there to help
Their incentive
Is for the pressure to conceive
The ignition of another level of reach
Do I want this?
Do I want this in my life?
Is it worth it?
Worth the sacrifice?
