Waiting for your turn

Sitting on that big animal

Your name--­

In the hole, on deck

Finally, you're up

 

Heart beating fast

Arms shaking

Prancing into the arena

Take a big breath

All eyes on you

 

Other times to beat

No chance to think

People cheering

Your heads a spinning

Just do your best

 

Right turn, then left

One more to make the test

Zooming home

Stopping by the gate

The new time to beat, 15.8

 

Trotting out

Good job they say

Smiling for joy

Man, I had a great day
