The Best Sport

A chronically ill boy did his best to keep up much healthier children at summer camp. He won a medal for being the "best sport" because he missed out on a lot of activities the other children participated in and bravely endured questionable treatment.

The Best Sport

Well he got the medal for the best sport
It doesn't mean he can run real fast
But when he stood in line he never complained about being last

To speak up would be my first reaction
No one can take advantage of me
Ah, but he was so happy to be there
He just waited patiently

It would have been so hard for me
But it was easy for him
Some people say you can' t  be a winner that way
But he got his medal in the end

The camp counselor said sometimes he got left behind
He got cuts and bruises when he fell a time or two
But there was always someone watching over him
And each time he never knew, yes each time he never knew

Well I know we can't all be the best sport
When the world leaves us battered and bruised
But I know the Lord is always watching over us
And each time we never knew, yes each time we never knew

It would have been so hard for me
But it was easy for him
Some people say you can' t  be a winner that way
But he got his medal in the end
We'll all get our medal in the end
