Home Run

The lights go on, another game day I grab my bat and headed for the plate But the first pitch was a curve, and I was done (Strike one) I step out of the box Look the pitcher in the eye You could read his lips "Hey, punk, you're mine" So I gave him a wink and said, "Let's see what you can do" (Strike two) Gotta keep my eye on the ball Swing straight, and true, and follow through Don't be afraid, whatever the call Because we're never alone Our coach is there to cheer us on Well, it's the wind up Here comes that ball You gotta pray and swing Watch it 'til it's going, going, it's gone Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, home run We need a home run Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh Oh We need a home run You know life can be like a baseball game We're on the same team, but we're not all the same That's why we've got to learn to play together I didn't join this team to sit on the bench I'm going deep, swingin' for the fence I got some friends on base I gotta get home Gotta keep your eye on the ball Swing straight, and true, and follow through Don't be afraid, whatever the call Because we're never alone Our coach is there to cheer us on Well, it's the wind up Here comes that ball You gotta pray and swing Watch it 'til it's going, going, it's gone Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, home run I want a home run Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh Oh I want a home run We are not the first to play this game Or stand over this plate We are surrounded by the legacy Like they're sittin' in the stands I can see them waving their hands Saying "Go, go all the way" (It's going, it's going, it's going, oh my, it's out of here That baby is gone) Come on now Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, home run Hey, it's gone, gone now Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, home run Hey, it's a home run Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, home run Pedal back, pedal back, it's gone Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
