Believing That You Can Do It!

As the day of our competition nears,
Remember the smiles, forget the tears.

Remember the times we've spent together,
Cherish them now, cherish them forever.

Next year it will not be the same,
Some girls lost, some girls gained.

Doing the routine one more time,
To fix that motion and straighten that line.

We've had many falls and lots of tough breaks,
We took our chances but knew what was at stake.

We are all exhausted and ready to rest,
But first we must show the world who is best.

Regardless of what the judges criticize,
Remember they weren't there to realize,

We sweated, we ached, and we worked all the while,
And we hid all the pain with a convincing smile.

So show them now what we have worked for,
Give a little extra where there needs to be more.

Smile and know that we have finished the race,
Regardless of what we win or place.
