When I watch you
Sitting on that bench
Wrapped up in an ice pack
Cheering for your team
Or
When I watch you
At that hospital
Hoping for good news
With your sports career
Hung out on the line
I say
When I watch you
You broken-hearted athlete
Who used to be the best
Who always had a positive outlook
I stand up
Through your pain
I stand up
