Geoff Moore & the Distance - Home Run Lyrics

The lights go on, another game day
I grab my bat and headed for the plate
But the first pitch was a curve, and I was done
(Strike one)
I step out of the box
Look 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
Well, it's the wind up
Here comes that ball
You gotta pray and swing
Watch it 'til it's going, going, it's gone
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, home run
We need a home run
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh
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, 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
Well, it's the wind up
Here comes that ball
You gotta pray and swing
Watch it 'til it's going, going, it's gone
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, home run
I want a home run
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh
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
Like they're sittin' in the stands
I can see them waving their hands
Saying "Go, go all the way"

(It's going, it's going, it's going, oh my, it's out of here
That baby is gone)

Come on now
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, home run
Hey, it's gone, gone now
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, home run
Hey, it's a home run
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, home run
Pedal back, pedal back, it's gone
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
