Going For the Gold

Going For the Gold

A Poem by Bo Lanier

Well now and I'm Going for the Gold

Not standing in the shadows 

Giving it my heart and soul 

Up the mountain, down the road 

New found determination, no 

Competition, first edition 

Not standing, not standing 

In the shadows 'cuz here I go 

Here I go going for the Gold 

Well and I will not settle for 

Second best go on now and put me 

To the test, I will not give up, I will 

Not give in no, and I will not give up 

I've still got too much life to live 

And love to give so hold on 'cuz 

Here I go, here I go 

Going For the Gold 

Not standing in the shadows 

Giving it my heart and soul 

Up the mountain, down the road 

New found determination, no 

Competition, first edition 

Not standing, not standing 

In the shadows 'cuz here I go 

Here I go going for the Gold 

It's just not in my nature to 

Back down from a challenge 

No, I can do anything I set my mind to 

Just stand back now and watch me 

Make all my dreams come true 

If it's the last thing I do 

When I get something in my head 

That’s that so you just stand back 

And watch me, watch me now 

Going For the Gold 

Not standing in the shadows 

Giving it my heart and soul 

Up the mountain, down the road 

New found determination, no 

Competition, first edition 

Not standing, not standing 

In the shadows 'cuz here I go 

Here I go going for the Gold.
