One, Two, Three.
One, two, three.
People are standing on them.
First, second and third.
People are called.
People who almost made third say:
“God**** it! I was almost there! God**** one point! I could have been up on that
Stage.
People who almost made second say:
“People only remember first and second, but that’s it.”
People who almost made first say:
“First is what’s remembered in history. That’s all.”
People who made first say:
“Well, that’s it. I tried days and nights, and I just became a number.”
One, two and three.
Gold, silver and bronze medal.
One, two and three.
First, second and third
Places.

One, two, and three.
Stop counting.
Look up, there is a ceiling.
A sky is a ceiling.
Remember, that we can fly high.
One, two, and three.
Stop counting.
Look up, where it is boundless.
A sky is our stage.
