Here I am   

Standing here once again,  

After many, many anguish years,   

I stand here on this old wooden floor,  

Wondering, why now—  

  

Is it time for my moment,   

My stand,   

My destiny in time-  

For I follow my ancestors of yesteryear's                        

 The pain,  

                The torment,  

The sorrow that was yesteryear’s—  

  

So now, I am back to fight again  

For my mother’s dream   

And  

The commitment of time  

And  

Infinity  

I am here once again—  

  

To fulfill a promise of love, joy,  

And cherish dreams   

From a beautiful lady,   

With the brashness of a tiger,   

                         And the tranquility of spirit— I am here once again!  

To pursue those dream of yester-years  

With ball in hand   

I will soar again—  

  

To realize her dream and mine's   

To pay tribute  

To those who came before me  

To destroy the evil that prevented my return—  

  

I am truly back again  

For the love of family  

 And friends   

               I will play again!  

To fulfill my dreams   

And  

 Bring life back to my   

        Soul  

                 I will once soar again!   

                       See you Mom!
