Lyrics
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!

(Umpire) 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"

(Umpire) STRIKE TWO!

Chorus

Gotta keep my eye on the ball

Swing straight and true and follow through

Don't be afraid what-ever 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 goin', goin', it's gone

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, home run.

We need a home run

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, 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 goin' deep, swingin' for the fence

I got some friends on base, I gotta go home

Chorus

We are not the first to play this game

Or stand over the plate

We are surrounded by the legacy

I can see them in the stands

I can see them wavin' their hands

Sayin', "go, go all the way"

(Announcer)

It's goin', it's going it's going.

Oh my!

It's outta here!

That baby is gone (gone)

Come on now

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, home run

Hey it's gone, gone now

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, home run

Hey it's a home run

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, oh,

Oh, oho, oh, home run
