The Beating of My Heart

I can feel the beating of 
my heart. It's beating loudly 
at night beneath the stars as 
my feet run along the pavement.
It makes me feel so alive. 

I can feel the beating of my 
heart. It's beating loudly
when I'm boxing and throwing 
punches. It makes me feel so 
alive and nothing else seems 
to matter.

I can feel the beating of my 
heart. It's beating loudly
when I'm outside on the 
field with my field-hockey 
stick hitting a ball. It 
makes me feel so alive. 

I can feel the beating of 
my heart. It's beating loudly when 
I'm strumming my ukulele. 
It makes me feel so alive 
and brings a smile to my 
face.
