##(Verse 1)
 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
 outta 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[(EmDEm)].

##(Verse 2)
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[(Em].
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 get
 home[(EmDEmEmD)].

##(Chorus 1)
Gotta keep my
 eye on the
 ball, swing
 straight and true and
 follow through,
 Don't be
 afraid whatever the
 call[(D],
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.

##(Chorus 2)
 Ho
me
 ho
me
 h
ome
 run.
(We need a
 home
 run)
 Ho
me
 ho
me
 h
ome
 run.
(We need a
 home
 run)
