All worth the pain***

I am beaten and bruised
Scratched and bleeding.

One on one
Intensity in the eyes.

Shoulder to gut
Shoe to face.

Standing over you a body
You're waiting for a release.

Coming from one side and then the other
You fall and the next one continues on.

You grab it and go
You hear screaming and shouting...go, run!

You feel the aching and shortness of breath
Your right lung tightens and shoot an unbearable pain up your neck.

It looks so far you dont think you can make it
Your body is shutting down but you've come too far.

Your keep going, you can't give up now
The chase is still on inches behind you.

The field is open and you're running top speed
You pass that tri zone and place the ball.

Everything feels better at the sound of the whistle.....

Dr. Russo asked me to remind you to make sure that you have carefully listened to and studied the lyrics of all of the Dylan songs on the list. Those who are presenting should be prepared for tomorrow's class. Also remember to return the CD's he lent you so that he is not in violation of US copyright laws.
