For My Favorite Olympian to Be!

Chance, Chance (to the tune of Dance, Dance by Fallout Boy)

October 2009

She says she’s no good at soccer, but I don’t know
She tried it all
A crazy project, and she got paid
ESPN gave her such an opportunity
Today she’s training harder
Glued to the bike three hours a pop

I’m seven riders and a water bottle down
And I don’t want to forget how the wind sounds
I’m in so much pain but, I will go on
I need that support just to get by

Chance, Chance
I’m falling apart in team handball
Chance, Chance
And this is the life I lead
Chance, oh what am I in for?
If they knew how weak I really am

I always rise up right before the end
Power snack, go juice and I’m in
Last push
It won’t be my last mistake

I’m seven riders and a water bottle down
And I don’t want to forget how the wind sounds
I’m in so much pain but, I will go on
I need that support just to get by

I have a new country now
They love me just the same

Chance, Chance
I’m falling apart in the pentathlon
Chance, Chance
And this is the life I lead
Chance, oh what am I in for?
If they knew how strong I really am

I have a new country now
They love me just the same
I want everyone to know I love the island game

Chance, Chance
I’m falling apart in fencing
Chance, Chance
And this is the life I lead
London calling and I don’t want to shout

Katherine is shooting for 2012
Her mind is right and her standing is good
Last chance
I’ll make it in Cy-c-ling

Chance this is the way I take it
Chance this is the way I take it
Chance this is the way I roll
If they knew what drives me

Chance, Chance
Chance, Chance
Chance, Chance
Chance, Chance
