Born with sparks beneath your skin,

You leap, you clash, you break the mold,

A blaze that bursts, too loud to pin.

A story written loud and bold.

No time for pause, no time for doubt,

A bruised knee? Badge. A loss? A dare.

You’re in, you’re up, you’re charging out.

You feel the fear, then never care.

You're heat, you're fight, you're crash and glow,

The fuse is short, the will is tall,

The force that makes the cold winds go.

You’d rather rise than fear the fall.

A rebel heart, a flaring sun,

They call you wild, they call you rash

Always halfway through the run.

But only you ignite that flash.

You burn too fast, you live too loud

But damn, you make the thunder proud.
