Better Than Today

I can’t be the best in this field
But this isn’t the game of stardom
This is the first step of excursion
Now I’m going beyond the borders

Pain is not a struggle nor weakness
This is the way of knowing oneself
It may not be now nor tomorrow
But I’ll be better than today

The start may be the hardest
But the end is a new beginning
A challenge to be stronger
A conquest that we want to linger 

This is the flight of discovery
A new treasure is found in me
I can see how this journey will end
Know I’ll be better than today
