It's match point, 5th set, up by one, title on the line.

You've battled all day, drained, aching, exhausted.

"One more point, just one more," you think.

"Here we go, time to battle."

The serve is made, both teams in motion,

it's back and forth, unbelievable play.

You're ready to hit, who will step up, who will win it?

Everyone tries, but each point slips away.

Then out of no where, a free ball flies over,

you transition out, and await your destiny.

The team reacts, the pass is made,

the ball is set, and its aiming -- for you.

You have trained, you have endured,

you have dreamed, your time is now.

You read the set, prepare to blast,

then like an eagle, ready to ascend, 

you jump, you fly, you soar.

With precision timing, and a lightning arm,

you strike the ball, with every muscle of heart and might.

Last year, in this moment,

you were afraid, you were unsure, you doubted,

you did not -- believe.  

No more.

For today, in your life, in this second,

you are chosen.
