Tempo: Upbeat, driving drum beat with a stadium-rock synth hook)(Verse 1) The skyline’s waking, the concrete hums Hear the roar of the city, see the rhythm come From the CN Tower down to the dirt We’re wearing the blue, we’re putting in the work Gausman’s on the mound, that splitter starts to dive Cease is bringing heat, keeping hopes alive With Varland and Yesavage, the fire in the cage We’re rewriting the story, we’re turning the page. (Pre-Chorus) Joe Mantiply shifts, closing down the lane Tommy Nance and Tyler Rogers, nothing stays the same Patrick Corbin’s ready, the rotation is tight We’re locking up the fort on a Toronto night! (Chorus) Protect the Nest! Let the Blue Jays fly Underneath the dome, reaching for the sky From the first pitch strike to the final sound We don't back down on this hallowed ground Defend the North, keep the spirit strong The city’s singing, we’ve been waiting all along Protect the Nest! Yeah, we’re standing tall Blue Jays rising, we own the ball! (Verse 2) Vladdy’s at the plate, watch the power swing Hear the crack of the bat, hear the stadium ring Ernie’s in the gap, Giménez finds the hole Okamoto’s got the vision, Sosa’s got the soul Barger’s got the drive, Sánchez brings the speed Springer’s in the pocket, exactly what we need Davis Schneider grinding, Daulton on the tear There’s a voltage in the city, can you feel it in the air? (Bridge) Base by base, we’re closing the gap Put the 6ix back on the baseball map One team, one dream, the pressure’s on the line It’s our house, our turf, it’s our time to shine! (Guitar/Synth Solo – High Energy) (Chorus) Protect the Nest! Let the Blue Jays fly Underneath the dome, reaching for the sky From the first pitch strike to the final sound We don't back down on this hallowed ground Defend the North, keep the spirit strong The city’s singing, we’ve been waiting all along Protect the Nest! Yeah, we’re standing tall Blue Jays rising, we own the ball! (Outro) Yeah, we own the ball! From the bullpen heat to the batter’s call Protect the Nest! (Blue Jays! Blue Jays!) Yeah, we’re standing tall! Protect the Nest! (Fade out with stadium crowd cheers)
