[Verse 1] Just a young boy At the starting line with his tunes on And his shoes untied with a chip on His shoulder side from what he tripped on The last time he's Buzz Lightyear With no hyper-drive He's like Mike here With no Nike Flight and he'll fall down With his shoes untied And he'll trip on to the finish line
[Pre-Chorus] And I'll try to write this song If he gets there And I want to write this song
[Chorus] I'd like to be the one who is on the podium Take a photo for my mom And show here that I've made it I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song Just to show you that I've won But I'll have to tie my laces If I'm gonna make it
[Verse 2] In that moment When they hit the lights in looked golden But it didn't feel right he was frozen With the worst frostbite was he chosen Like an Israelite, pick the quotient That you can't divide like two oceans Stranded on the other side his devotions On the other side his emotions On the other side
[Pre-Chorus] And I'll try to write this song If he gets there And I want to write this song
[Chorus] I'd like to be the one who is on the podium Take a photo for my mom And show here that I've made it I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song Just to show you that I've won But I'll have to tie my laces If I'm gonna make it
[Verse 3] And then I'll end this song In 2051 And sing it for my son And then I'll tie his laces Just a young boy at the starting line, line, line, line
[Chorus] I'd like to be the one who is on the podium Take a photo for my mom And show here that I've made it I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song Just to show you that I've won But I'll have to tie my laces If I'm gonna make it
