LYRICS:
Mom's always telling people
I came tumbling out of the womb
And that I stuck the landing on my very first back handspring
Right there in the delivery room
And when the coaches noticed my skill and focus
My strength and my agility at just five years old
They said, "watch out because this girl's about to turn into gold"
And now I'm finally here
The crowd is cheering and I'm ready to transform
The judges and their scores don't phase me
I smile and the music plays, but
But Something in my head is spinning
I think that I'm afraid - of winning
What happens once you've done the thing that you were born to do?
All the tears and sweat, and you finally get what everybody wants for you
Once they've played the anthem and the alchemy is through
What do you turn gold into?
Five hours every day, six days a week with one goal in mind
It's amazing how you start out with only talent and potential
Till one day, you're an athlete refined
Into a precious metal- it's something special
The way your destination makes you who you are
But who am I without the pommel horse and parallel bars?
What happens once you've done the thing that you were born to do?
All the tears and sweat, and you finally get what everybody wants for you
Once they've played the anthem and the alchemy is through
What do you turn gold into?
I step on the mat, and clear my mind
For ninety seconds I am perfect
Made of pure momentum
As I leave the ground and lift into the air
The judges show their scores - I did it
And just like that the end - or is it?
What if something's just beginning?
A transformation after winning
I couldn't see before
Maybe there is more
That happens once you've done the thing that you were born to do?
Once you've claimed the prize, is a new horizon suddenly awaiting you?
Once they've played the anthem and the dream has come true
What if the alchemy's not through?
After you've earned gold
What do you turn gold -
What'll I turn gold into?
