Play ball, play ball, play ball

The lights go on, another game day
I grabbed my bat an' headed for the plate
But the first pitch was a curve and I was done
Strike one

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

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

It's a wind up, here comes that ball
You gotta pray and swing
Watch it till it's goin', goin', it's gone

Oh, oh, oh, home run
Oh, oh, oh, I 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
Goin' 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

It's a wind up, here comes that ball
You gotta pray and swing
Watch it till it's goin', goin', come on

Oh, oh, oh, home run, I'm on a home run
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on a home run

We are not the first to play this game
Or stand over this plate
We are surrounded by their legacy
[Incomprehensible] in the stands
Can't see them wavin' their hands
Sayin', 'Go, go all the way'

It's going, it's going, it's going
It's outta here, that baby is gone, gone

Come on now
Oh, oh, oh, home run
Oh, oh, oh, home run

Are you ready? Come on
Oh, oh, oh, home run
Take it team
Oh, oh, oh, home run

Yeah, hey it's gone, gone now
Oh, oh, oh, home run
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on a home run
