Keeping Your Eye On the Ball

If you feel you want to keep your eye on the ball. If you see the need to keep your eye on the ball, Remember this: Your chances are better, on the field of play, Your chances are better, if you see the need for fresh air, Your chances are better, when out with a friend, Your chances are better, if you are a team player, Your chances are better, if you are not sitting down for long, Your chances are better, if you are not a rent-a-crowd member, Your chances are better, if you are not a day dreamer, Your chances are better, if you take off your headphones, Your chances are better, if you take your eyes off the big screen Your chances are better, if you can extrapolate, Your chances are better, if you can back a hunch. Your chances are worse, if you have been given the run around, but never been given the chance to run around, Your chances are worse, if you had a tormentor, instead of a friend. Your chances are worse, if you have never owned a ball, or never been given the chance to kick or throw one around, Your chances are worse, if your parents didn't give you those chances. Your chances are zero, if you don't go and buy a ball for your kids, right this minute, and a spare one to give to any kid with parents, who are kicking their child's chances into touch.
