When I arrive at soccer practice Friday

I stretch with my team mates

then coach has us run a lap

and dribble the ball the whole way

when I run with the ball I can feel my heart beating

my feet soon fall into step with my heart

ku-thump ku-thump ku-thump

I run, run, run

ku-thump ku-thump ku-thump

my beat changing

I go a bit faster

I've made the lap

 coach says another

I start off again with my heart

I run run run

ku-thump ku-thump ku-thump

half-way through

ku-thump ku-thump ku-thump

my heart is racing

I can hear my breath

as it goes in, out, in, out

I'm about there

my feet are slowing down

in, ku-thump, out, ku-thump, in, ku-thump

I've made it

I wait for the rest of the team

the last come in

we start practice
