# This Is the Miracle League [Intro – warm Rhodes, soft beat, finger snaps, relaxed spoken voice] Ladies and gentlemen... Welcome to the diamond. It's the Miracle League of the Triangle. Got your glove? Got your hat? Got your buddy? Alright... Let's play ball. [Beat settles into an easy lo-fi groove] [Verse 1 – friendly rhythmic rap] Twenty years ago, Robin and Tony had a spark, A big-league kind of dream To bring some joy into the park. A place where everybody Could step up to the plate, Swing the bat, round the bases— Come on, we can't be late! Players on the field, Smiling faces everywhere, Buddies right beside them, And some happy people there. Every hit, every run, Every trip around the track, Once you've felt that Miracle, You know you're coming back. [Pre-Chorus – beat lightens, gentle call-and-response] Doesn't matter how you talk, Doesn't matter if you fall. Need a little helping hand? [Group, softly] Your buddy's there through it all. When somebody says, "Impossible," We know another way. The Miracle League says... [Group] It's time to play! [Chorus – melodic, easy singalong, no big volume jump] This is the Miracle League, Baseball at its best. Every Fall and every Spring, We come out and do our best. Yeah, the players are supreme, Every one can play ball. Hit it, roll it, run the bases— There's a place here for us all. [Call-and-response – gentle] Hey, hey... [Group: Everybody wins.] Hey, hey... [Group: Let the game begin.] [Short instrumental – Rhodes and finger snaps] [Verse 2 – playful storytelling rap] Every player has a name, Hear the announcer make the call. Here comes the mighty Dinosaur! And the Donut Man plays ball! Some players bring the glitter, Some make their swing a dance. Some roll, some run, Everybody gets their chance. Fans are watching from the stands, Buddies helping every week. Every player brings a story, Every player is unique. Ask the coaches how it works, And they'll gladly tell us all: [Group] Everybody gets a turn. Everybody plays ball. [Chorus – relaxed singalong] This is the Miracle League, Baseball at its best. Every Fall and every Spring, We come out and do our best. Yeah, the players are supreme, Every one can play ball. Hit it, roll it, run the bases— There's a place here for us all. [Call-and-response – soft and rhythmic] Hey, hey... [Group: Everybody wins.] Hey, hey... [Group: Let the game begin.] [Break – bass, Rhodes and finger snaps only] [Spoken] Okay, everybody... Nice and easy. Ready? [Call-and-response – quiet, playful] No fear here... [Group: No fear here.] Take your turn... [Group: Take your turn.] Swing that bat... [Group: Swing that bat.] Round that base... [Group: Round that base.] Who's a winner? [Group] Everybody! [Beat returns gently] [Verse 3 – warm, slightly sentimental] For twenty years we've watched them Step up to the plate. Twenty years of friendships, And memories we've made. Twenty years of buddies Walking side by side. Twenty years of players Showing everybody pride. And when another season Brings us back again, We don't need a scoreboard To tell us who will win. Because every player matters, From the first one to the last. Today's another ballgame— So let's go have a blast. [Final Chorus – fuller but still soft and controlled] This is the Miracle League, Baseball at its best. Every Fall and every Spring, We come out and do our best. Yeah, the players are supreme, Every one can play ball. Hit it, roll it, run the bases— There's a place here for us all. Hey, hey... [Group: Everybody wins.] Hey, hey... [Group: Let the game begin.] [Outro – drums gradually simplify, warm Rhodes remains] Here's to twenty more years Of the best game in town. More players, More buddies, More smiles all around. Every swing, Every base, Every friend, Every face. Here at the Miracle League... [Beat drops to Rhodes and finger snap] The winner... [Soft group response] ...is everybody. [Spoken warmly] See you at the next game.
