XC

out of all the four seasons

Fall's my favorite one

for many different reasons

but XC's the main one

the adrenaline keeps me going

no matter how hard the race may seem

it's all Boyens's doing

that i managed to stay on the team

going up and down those hills

really gives me chills

all that running is tiring

but Boyens's speeches are pretty inspiring

i've never met anyone who could be more understanding

or anyone more hardworking

it doesn't matter how many miles

you can always count on him to crack some smiles

out of all the four seasons

fall's my favorite one

for many different reasons

but XC's the main one

playing sports all three seasons

makes me love XC for even more reasons

other sports cannot compare

to be honest, winter track is just a nightmare

winter track might be in the same tribe

but it just doesn't give the same vibe

badminton might be more relaxing

but it takes a lot more adapting

out of all the four seasons

fall's my favorite one

for many different reasons

but XC's the main one

we don't need announcements like other sports

Simply for the same reason we don't need darn courts

XC teaches you more than running

it teaches you how to be cunning
