Started out with pigtails a toddler on the run
Kicking that old soccer ball underneath the southern sun
Her tiny feet would stumble but she'd always rise again
At just three years old I saw God's fire spark within
Through high school Friday nights I was parked there by the fence
Watching her on that field where every move was pure suspense
She battled fierce with dignity fighting till the game was through
Her heart was on the line and I was cheering like I do
And the fire she had on the field
It grew inside her soul
From the sidelines to her studies
Her ambition takes control
Now she's chasing bigger dreams
She's come so very far
It started with a soccer ball
Now she's reaching for the stars
College days were tougher but she weathered every storm
Balancing her passion with sleepless nights the norm
She'd lace up those cleats before hitting the books by night
Still scoring goals in life still fueled by that same light
Now she's studying for a doctorate a healer she will be
Mending bodies soothing hearts it's her destiny
But late at night I close my eyes and I still see that field
A little girl with pigtails who refused to ever yield
And the fire she had on the field
It grew inside her soul
From the sidelines to her studies
Her ambition takes control
Now she's chasing bigger dreams
She's come so very far
It started with a soccer ball
Now she's reaching for the stars
It started with a soccer ball
Now she's reaching for the stars
