Lyrics
I'VE ALREADY WON
VERSE
I've run this race a thousand times
Not on the track, but in my mind.
Every hurdle is a test that pushes me to do my best.
I can be all that I can be
I can claim my victory.
Now at last the day is here, I know there's nothing more to fear.
CHORUS
I see the victory in my mind
I know I've already won
I've run this race a thousand times
I know I've already won
Not on the track, but in my mind
I know I've already won
Words can't explain how good it feels
To open up my eyes and see that now the dream is real
And I've already won.
VERSE
For my country proud I stand, held by God's almighty hand.
Standing tall to take the gold, now at last the world will know.
Being all that I can be, I have claimed my victory.
Words can't explain how good you feel when you see the dream is real.
CHORUS
I see the victory in my mind
I know I've already won
I've run this race a thousand times
I know I've already won
Not on the track, but in my mind
I know I've already won
Words can't explain how good it feels
To open up my eyes and see...
MUSIC BRIDGE
OUTRO CHORUS
I see the victory in my mind
I know I've already won
I've run this race a thousand times
I know I've already won
Not on the track, but in my mind
I know I've already won
I see the victory
I know I've already won
I see the victory
I know I've already won
I see the victory
I know I've already won
I see the victory...
