Apologies to Crosby, Stills and Nash - their song "Helplessly Hoping" was a lot better.
Steadily swimming She flashes a grin Doc in a boat Take's a note she won't surrender. She wants to win finds strength within. Worriedly Waiting, friend wishes she'd ask herself "why" and paces the French side. Hastily helping, she rises a moment to wave, before waves re-hide He feels pride inside Stand by the starlight, The watch boat is tossed Pain isn't peaceful, enter the arena know the cost Their bond is a beacon; the channel was crossed. this race isn't lost.
