Match Summary

10/17/2004 -
There've been times in my life
I've been wonderin' why
Still, somehow I believed I'd always survive
One good reason to try
(This is it)
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
Your back's to the corner
(This is it)
The waiting is over, no, don't run
No way to hide
No time for wonderin' why
It's here, the moment is now, about to decide
believe
You say that maybe it's over)
(Not if you don't want it to be)
For once in your life
Here's your miracle
Stand up and fight
(This is it)
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
You're goin' no further
(This is it)
Until it's over and done
No one can tell you what you know)
Who makes the choice of how it goes)
It's up to you this time
(You know)
Comes a day in every life
(This is it)
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
You're goin' no further
Here's your miracle
Stand up and fight
(This is it)
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
(Kenny Loggins)
