The Olympics have taken over this blog - so here is just one more Olympics themed blog post and then I'll move on. Usain Bolt won the 200m to complete the double. Is this guy amazing or what? There should be a song about him! Well there is... it's called "Bolt" and it is by Anna Coddington. She wrote it after the 2008 Olympics when she had become a little bit obsessed with Usain Bolt (like most of us). The song is from the perspective of his girlfriend (although she had no idea if he even had one) sitting back in Jamaica while he becomes the superstar he now is. She is so proud of him, but at the same time, fearful of his success effecting their relationship.
Lyrics
BOLT
Run, run, he runs very fast
He wins, wins every race
He turns around before the finish line
to watch the others cry
He prays to God, thinks of his sweetheart
He left sitting under palm trees
She looks up and sees a strong wind
and she thinks of
him
Run, run but don’t leave me
My life is not easy
I want the best for you
but I have dreams too
Why can’t we both win?
She’s so proud it breaks her both ways
Her whole life she ached for him
To dream big and live the good life,
but live it by my side
Run, run but don’t leave me
My life is not easy
I want the best for you
but I have dreams too
Why can’t we both win?
