Lyrics
She was ready; she was willing
Today is the day
Came to the line; one thing on her mind
Finish anywhere in this race
It'd be tough; would she have enough
To push her wheelchair that far
The look on her face made her mamma's day
Like a shining star
Today
She's living the dream
Today
She knows what it means
To reach for the sky, and feel the pride
It's something special indeed
She's a winner
Because she believes
The race begins; she turns those wheels
With the heart of a champ
She won a medal; took second place
Beams even as she pants
Her brother's so proud; he shouts out loud
That's my sister right there
He runs to her side and both of them cried
As they said a prayer
CHORUS
It's not the handicaps or trials in this life that define your purpose
It's knowing what makes us special ain't something you can see on the surface
CHORUS
