Nobody thinks about that stuff like how tall am I to bend
Or how fast he could of run, they just stare as he rolls by
All they see is a helpless kid with no chance to live a life

But if they only knew

He's got dreams of breaking ribbons
In a 100 Yard dash
Climbing up the snow capped mountain, planting his flag
He' believes one day he'll stand up, walk way from that chair
He's got faith and he's got hopes and all his Mama's prayers
He's not jaded or bitter gonna leave the giving up for the quitters

The Doctors say no way hell walk
He just smiles and says I'm gonna prove you wrong
Lots of falls and failed attempts
His legs keep giving out, but his heart ain't givin' in
What they don't know

He's got dreams of breaking ribbons
In a 100 Yard dash
Pushing Earnheart down the back stretch in a Daytona draft
He' believes one day he'll stand up, walk way from that chair
He got faith and he got hope and all his Mama's prayers
He's not jaded, bitter gonna leave the giving up for the quitters

He pulls himself upon the bar takes a long deep breath
Lifts his right off the mat with all that he has left he takes a step

One step towards that dream of breaking ribbons
In a 100 Yard dash
Going long for a touchdown with his buddies at back
He' believes one day he'll stand up, walk way from that chair
He's got faith and he's got hopes and all his Mama's prayers
He's not jaded or bitter gonna leave the giving up for the quitters
