I salute you for a battle well fought,
with goals accomplished-more than you sought.
Now it is time-the statement
must be made
for all to see that you have made the grade.
Justice has prevailed-now you have the crown,
success is so elusive to those who would bring you down.
It's your
dance-the song is yours to sing,
it's winner take all-as you shoot for everything.
Caught Up in the moment-Victory in your stride,
time is your companion and power on your side.
Caught Up in the
moment-it's a dream come true,
yet,for the record-the rest is up to you.
You've overcome the struggles-milestones passed,
made up your mind-not to be outclassed.
While others watch on-you're
setting the pace,
in an atmosphere of awe-we see the smile on your face.
Caught up in the moment-gaining the respect of all,
you elect to rise to the occasion rather than fall.
Caught
up in the moment-worthy of your reward,
the stage is yours-a singer never out of chord.
