Memorial Stadium

It was the Nebraska Corn Huskers annual spring game When near the end they called out Jack Hoffman's name A seven year old boy on treatment break from a brain tumor And today he was going to get the ball and run for an amazing score Running onto the field 60,00 fans up on their feet Everyone sensing they were about to see something neat As Taylor Martinez set his line and turned around to little Jack With a field of dreams ahead he said okay now you're my running back Handing him the ball he quickly ran left than scooted back to the right And on that field their were twenty one other men who joined in with his fight Making a break into a clearing seeing a whole lot of daylight just ahead My soul so awake the whole crowd cheering for of all them now he had lead Over the goal line and carried away in a boisterous parade of celebration Oh how Jack did shine even with all of the problems that he was facing I'm glad I got to pray for that little boy hopefully many others do too Such a special gift in sensing joy in just knowing throughout that it is certainly true Search: Jack Hoffman Cornhusker
