Extra Miles - 3rd Place

I can climb above the mountain 
Soar beyond a looming fountain
I'll risk my life if you're the gain 
You're too precious to hold 

I can dive deep down deepest sea
Just to be sure that you'll be free 
I'll not be shy that world will see 
For, you're my precious gold 

I can run past a million miles 
And go back fresh in poise and styles 
To see you wear a thousand smiles 
With you, I can't feel old 

3rd place
