Why They Play The Games

He was never meant to be a player
He was told When He was very small
He might someday walk like other children
but he wold never run at all

He was never meant to break for second
on a 2-1 count with one man down
and when doctor said he might not make it
they were not discussing sports at all, but...

Chorus
That's why they play the games
because you never know
until the final out
you just might be surprised
that's why they play the games
cause talent makes it shine
but heart can win sometimes
That's why they play the games

He grew up in the awkawrd silence
and the doubt in everybody's eyes
and with each exceeded expectation
He was told he should be satisfied

For the race is often to the swiftest
and the contest often to the strong
but if your not careful, you might miss it
now and then, surprises come along.

(Repeat Chorus)

Now the sun is shinning on a diamond
and the crown is rising to their feet
cause they know they are seeing something special
even though this is only little league

For it's far to easy to be jaded
To be cynical, to let the darkness in
But with my own eyes this day I've seen it
Sometimes winners simply find a way to win

(Repeat Chorus)
