with his HEART beating fast.
The bases are loaded
the dye has been cast.

Mom and Dad cannot help him
he stands all alone.
A hit at this moment

The ball nears the plate
he swings hard but misses.
There's a groan from the crowd,
with some boo's and some hisses.

There's a groan from the crowd,
with some boo's and some hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries out,
"Strike out the scrub"
Tears fill the boy's eyes,
the game's no longer fun.
Parents and spectators
with faces of stone;
Remember, he's just a boy
who's standing alone.

Please open your HEART
and give him a break.
For it's moments like this,
a great man you can make.

So keep this in mind,
if you hear someone forget.
He's just a small boy
and not a man yet.
