I can hear the drums beating.
I can see the colors of the rainbow.
I can hear the women celebrating.
I can see the men in amusement.
I can see a girl in great jubilation.
Like a rose flower in the bush,
She beat all the odds to flourish.
They say better days are coming,
But tomorrow is finally here with her.
She has fought for her title.
She has kept her faith.
She's a portrait of victory.
I can see in her eyes.
I can see in her smile.
the tiresome journey she had to take.
The cold nights she had to ensure.
But Mama's prayer kept her going.
She's a story of a champion.
She's a song of jubilation.
She's a lesson with ambition.
I can see her in her long robe,
Just like the long race she had race.
I can see in her shining face.
The long hours she had to face.
She's a product of keeping the pace.
If this day were an equation,
It would be a total summation of the days,
The times, the moments, the efforts,
and the sacrifice of the past 4 years.
When I see the cake,
I can imagine all she had to take.
She knows this is not the end.
She just set a step to take a leap.
Just like an eagle,
She just staightened her wings to fly.
She can see the sky.
She feel the strength.
She see above the clouds.
She's set for the stars.
And when she's up there,
She can't stop shining.
She's more than an shooting star.
