"The countdown, we're up against the road
I've never known a darkness so immense
A mountain, heart tell me how to go
Are we falling now? No victory to show."

"Will we burn, will we burn?
From the fire, will we learn?
To be mindful and keep away
from the words that ignite the flame.
Our words will ignite the flame...
You let the fire out, and it's right in front of me.
You let the fire out, and it's right in front of me.
Face it, don't turnaround
there's no running from the heat."
(exhorting her teammates to face their fears and go hard to the basket instead of settling for contested turnaround jumpers)

"The rain falls down on me so hard
The wind's unraveling me, don't start
An ocean's swallowing up my heart
but I've made it this far
So I'll keep wishing on a bright star
that we'll keep drawing all the right cards
and I'll keep singing when it goes dark
'cuz I've made it this far
I've made it this far
I've made it this far."
(farewell to the greatest, toughest, most hard working, most wonderful player this league will ever know)
