I Had My Shot
Author:

I've got the ball,
Among the short in the battle of the tall,
The one forgotten and the clown of it all,
Now I'm off the court, out of sight out of mind,
I had the chance to beat 'em, now I'm left behind,
I take a last look at the court, the crowed,
Seeing you there, sure would have made mom proud,
No more fear, no more pain,
Ive had my shot, now it's time you have the fame,
If you fall I'll take the blame,
Go ahead, I had my shot, this is your game,
Take your best shot, what you gonna do?
Aim high and roam free, making it all depends on you!
For others its a game,
that gave many and many others Fame.
I call it a heart beat... and all,
My heart beats to the dribble of ball.
I had my shot,
Now its your turn to take the spot.
I stand, and i stand tall
With my heart beating to the sound of the ball.
Its over and it has just begun.
I play in my heart although I'm done.
