Dedicated to Micheal Phelps!

I got up every morning
Way before the sun
I had a goal in mind
To be number one

I swam when I was four
I swam when I was seven
By the time that I turned eight
I swam like I was eleven

I have always swam
As long as I can remember
I swam in frigid waters
On the 25th of December

My coach he eats his doughnuts
And he yells at me a lot
He makes sure that I’m focused
And I’m giving all I’ve got

Sometimes my arms were tired
Sometimes my wind was gone
Sometimes my legs would cramp
But I never quit swimming on

Some people like the heat
Some people hate the cold
Some people like silver
I only like the gold

I swim in my dreams
I was swimming in the womb
I will keep on swimming
Until I’m underneath my tomb
