[Verse 1] Smell of the dirt, the bright white line Fire is rising through my hands Shadows are stretching across the field Hearing my name makes my heartbeat slam Uniform heavy with sweat and dust Scars from the last mistake still sting Still I am calling out for the ball I will not run, I will fight and win [Pre-Chorus] Fingers trembling, grabbing the ground One deep breath and I make my choice I will not run, today I will stay I will not lose to my own small voice [Chorus] Throw it, hit, run hard, make the play Shout till your voice breaks, rise past today If you fall down, get back on your feet There is no time left to cry Throw it, hit, run hard, make the play Chase down the dream that is here right now For that one baseball-width of future Reach out your hand and go take it now [Verse 2] Sweat is dripping on the white chalk line Tie up my laces and face the sky Yesterday’s error is in my chest Still I hold tight to my glove tonight Biting the mouthpiece deep on the bench Teammates are laughing behind my back "You’re gonna do it, we know you can" That single phrase hit my heart on track [Pre-Chorus] Turn every failure into a joke Wear all this mud with a fearless grin Way too early to be giving up Our story still hasn’t truly begun [Chorus] Throw it, hit, run hard, make the play Carry your doubts and still charge ahead Even shaking, take that step forward Take your scared heartbeat along Throw it, hit, run hard, make the play Let them all laugh, you just play your game Into that bright white ball you are hurling Only the truth that burns in your flame [Bridge] Throw it, hit, run hard, make the play Crowds in the distance are rising and fade Cry and then laugh and hold someone tight Stay a dirt-covered hero tonight Sunset is painting the way back home Tears of frustration are blurring sight Still you lace up your spikes once again Run to the field for tomorrow’s fight [Chorus] Throw it, hit, run hard, make the play You can redo it as many times Every mistake from today will turn Into a sign on the climb Throw it, hit, run hard, make the play Beat of your heartbeat is calling you After the final pitch leaves your hand Trust that you’ll smile when the game is through [Final-Chorus] Throw it, hit, run hard, make the play Shout till your voice breaks, rise past today If you fall down, get back on your feet There is no time left to cry Throw it, hit, run hard, make the play Chase down the dream that is here right now For that one baseball-width of future Reach out your hand and go take it now
