Songtext Home run Geoff Moore and The Distance

Home run

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to the Dan Brock Memorial Stadium
Are you ready for an afternoon of baseball?
I hope you are
Because it's Geoff Moore and The Distance,
Going up against the big guy,The Prince of Darkness(Darkness)
It's been quiet on evolution with Geoff Moore and The Distance
That's why it's brought them to the game today
So I want you to kick back and enjoy a funfilled afternoon of Baseball(Baseball)
The teams are assembled
Are you ready?

PLAY BALL!!

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!

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, ohho, ohh, oh,
oh, ohho, ohh, oh,
oh, ohho, ohh, we need a home run

oh, ohho, ohh, oh,
oh, ohho, ohh, oh,
oh, ohho, we need a home run!

you know life can be like a baseball game,
We're on the same team, but were 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 get home!

Gotta keep your 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, ohho, ohh, oh,
oh, ohho, ohh, oh,
oh, ohho, ohh, home run!
i want a home run

ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, 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.
I can see them in the stands,
I can see them wavin their hands.
sayin, "go, go all the way!"

(umpire) it's goin, it's going it's going,
Oh my!
it's outta here!
that baby is gone (gone)

Come on now,
