The lights go on, another game day
I grabbed my bat
And headed for the plate
But the first pitch was a curve
And I was done
Strike one!
I stepped out of the box
Looked 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!
(Chorus:)
Gotta keep my eye on the ball
Wwing 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 till it's going, going, it's gone
Home, home, home run
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, swinging for the fence
I've got some friends
On base I gotta get home.
(Chorus)
We are not the first to play this game
Or stand over this plate
We are surrounded by their legacy
Like they're sittin' in the stands
I can see them waving their hands
Saying "Go, go all the way!"
Home, home, home run
Hey, it's gone gone now
Home, home, home run
Hey it's a home run
