Blue is for my eyes
Reflecting dreams of victory
Red is for the blood
Shed that first time
Yellow is for the fear
That kept me from telling
White is for the sanity
Slowly slipping away
Pink is for the heart
Broken open more each day
Green is for the bruises
Worn like badges of honor
Yellow, Red, White
Coward, Rage, Blank
Bringing me closer
To the brink
Red, Blue, Yellow
Blood, Tears, Pain
Bringing me closer
To my dreams
The medal is around my neck
I love the applause
The Trophy is on my shelf
I desired that most of all
These proofs of worth
I paid for with my body
