MY SACRED PLACE...BASKETBALL

Have there ever been times
That you feel that you are great?
That making the world yours
Is your destiny, your fate?

Well that happens to me a lot
In one special place
When my problems become my friends
Because them, I'm ready to face

I know my potential, my limits
I know how well I play
I know that I give my best
Each and every single day

With the ball in my hand
Basket in front of me
This is my sacred place
This is where I'm free

There are nine other people on court
But that doesn't matter at all
Because my confidence is on a high
And I will get up if I fall

Sometimes people will say that you can't
So show them you can and stand tall
Play with your heart and soul
And like your life depends on the ball

And if there is ever a negative force
That's trying to push you down
Get rid of it immediately
And make the world your own

Basketball has been a huge part of my life
But for now, it's goodbye my dear friend
But you will forever be in my heart
Till the very end

You have made me grow
You have paved the way
And I'm thankful for that
Each and every single day

When I will see you again, I know not
But if I happen to see your face
Pull me by the hand
And take me to your sacred place
