when the day comes
when april 13 comes
and we have lost
how will you feel?
however you're feeling now
it's barely a quarter of the reality
crashing to defeat in well,
perhaps the biggest race of you life.
all that you've been through
all that you've laid on the line
all that you've sacrificed
down down down the drain
all comes to naught
how will you feel?
picture a quite 'celebration' dinner at seoul garden
perhaps some might not eat
some even crying
the silence kills you
because we lost by a mere few points
and you were the culprit
no one makes eye contact
everything comes to naught
all the months of running
pounding
pushing
and hyperventilating
all the times we spent together
happy or sad
all comes to an end
an empty end
how would you feel?
would you cry?
would you start to really train harder?
it's too late my friend
if there's any crying to do
do it right now
what if however
we lift that coveted trophy?
april 13 2005
"... and the champions this year are...
Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)"
we shake the guest of honor's hand
other schools look upon us in envy
their effort and time have gone to naught
we have something to show at the end
with one heart, one spirit, one passion
we lift the trophy high, high, high up
yes imagine that
picture it in your mind right now
we let out a triumphant roar
a roar we have held back
yet so familiar to our hearts
"ac ac all the way"
we give three cheers to our competitors
acknowledge their good fighting spirit
but they return a softer one
because they were crippled
trampled
broken
vowing they will come back
but just all too late
how would you feel?
you stand before the school on perhaps friday morning
the claps will be mostly hypocritical
but see them exchange amazed glances
"oh shit. they won again?"
can you see what i see?
can you feel what i feel?
can you want what i want?
can you want to fly?
can you want to soar?
nonono,
dun tell me
just let your running do the talking
