You closed your eyes and prayed a little Breathing deep the dying grass one more time How I remember this Forty yards away the goal posts The clock ran down you kicked the ball Thinking It couldn't miss When It did you stood there With a weight on your shoulders And you dusted off the dirt and coldly stared at the cold ground Time ran out-game was over When the crowd had left the stadium Still you were standing there What were the goals you had In mind that day ? What did you sacrifice to play the game ? How can I ever know ? You ran much longer than the longest cheer Ran faster than excitement disappears Didn't end how you planned it How can I understand it Well I can't know your feelings from up here Now I breathe a brand new winter Cause it's time to start the season new This time It's without you Some one new wears your number And the crowd yells in wonder Though your playing days are now behind you I would tell you still People in the stands forget you They have found another hero boy But I never will What were the Goals you had in mind that day? What did you sacrifice to play the game? How can I ever know ? You ran much longer than the longest cheer Ran faster than excitement disappears Didn't end how you planned it How can I understand it Well I can't know your feelings from up here People in the stands forget you They have found another hero boy But I never will
