Try outs start today
I wonder how well I do
What if I don't do well
What if I screw up
Or even make myself look stupid

I can't help but to worry
I am really nervous too
I really love basketball
But what is a girl to do

I don't think I can take the pressure
I think I might give up
But if I do
I would become
Something I didn't wish to

So, should I give up
Or should I keep trying
Which should I choose
So hard to decide
And just not enough time
But I have to make a decision quick

I don't want to become a quitter
That is something I just will not do
So I guess I thought about it
I finally figured it out
I will keep trying
No matter what is to come about

So it is the last day of try outs
The coach calls my name
I stood there for a moment
I took in a deep breath
I then walk into her office

She asks me to sit down
I really didn't want to
But then she gave me this stare
So I sat down anyway
I was just sitting ther
Not saying a word
There was nothing but silence
Except for my leg shaking like a leaf

Then she breaks the silence
And starts to say
Well, I am sorry
Then before I would let her finish
I told her I already knew
I told her not to worry
That I would be ok

She says, what are you talking about
I was just going to say
That I was sorry for making you so nervous
So do not run away
So don't worry
You did make the team
We thought you would be great for the team

So I did make the team
There was nothing to worry about
I was shaking like a leaf for no reason
I did keep trying
No matter what
Even when it was easy
and when it was tough
But I still never gave up!
