It’s only for so long you can be ignorant 
Of what it means 
We worked together for the field of dreams 
Til I took off for New York
Because I could sense a fork 
In the road and I must be in the right side 
Of history and I cannot hide 
In the shadows and safe
I walk out of the cave
And into the light
If this comes down to a fight
I must be ready
The day is getting heady
And I take what I know
From the days I did not let go 
And put it to work
A tough tackle doesn’t hurt
When you’re focussed on the goal
Or the girl beside you playing from soul 
I catch the ball
And pass it off, run down the hall
So no one sees 
Everyone thinks I’m on my knees 
But I’m just in the thick of it
And I may be getting stick for it
But I won’t let go 
The fate of it rests on us you know
I look to my side 
And the hope is still alive 
That we might make it through
There’s a weight of this relying on you
A frequency holder
And I grow bolder 
In my defence 
I was never full forward 
It never made sense 
To go for glory 
I write the story 
From behind the line
I look to my left and we’re fine
The ship is steady
For now but I sense a storm so help me
And all of us
It’s still the boy on the bus 
And the girl in the seat 
If, God willing, I get to keep my heartbeat
I’ll stand up strong
We can’t let this go wrong
