Epistle to the Hebrews – What the Bible could have said

Andy Murray

With this great cloud of witnesses around us, therefore, we must throw off every encumbrance and the sin that all too readily restricts us, and run with resolution the race which lies ahead of us. (Hebrews 12:1).

Andy Murray, Andy Murray,

I wish I could be like Andy Murray:

hitting balls, life in a hurry,

winning points – Andy Murray.

Andy Murray, Andy Murray:

fans in the stands or watching the telly,

clapping every shot and volley.

I’m still wishing I was Andy Murray.

Andy Murray, Andy Murray

isn’t liked by people in Surrey

who wish he was more like Timothy Henman,

their well-bred son of middle England.

But Andy Murray, he doesn’t worry,

he’s having a celebratory curry,

giving his team a pat on the back

even one who’s next for the sack,

for to win Olympics, Championships, Opens

you’ve got to be ruthless, focussed and driven

but that doesn’t mean that Andy Murray

doesn’t need his friends and family.

Judy Murray, Judy Murray,

if you could come and be my mummy:

I would forgive your ridiculous prancing

on Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing.

If you could coach me, Judy Murray,

I would be more like Andy Murray:

defeating the past and the old class lies,

choosing a race and winning the prize;

but go and stand with Andy Murray

he’s under a desk in the teacher’s study,

listening to sirens crying and pain –

he’s seen some demons, your boy from Dunblane.

Andy Murry, Andy Murray,

Come on, Andy Murray!
