He laced up his sneakers
for perhaps the last time
in a meaningless game
He was long past his prime
Hs eyes scoured the stands
half-empty tonight
Could his team forfeit the game
No, that wouldn't be right
Fans there'd paid for their tickets
They deserved a real show
Though how he'd respond
He never did know
Some nights he just couldn't move
Couldn't get into a groove
Couldn't jump; couldn't shoot
Barely fit into his basketball suit
But tonight he felt better
And his shot was on fire
When he jumped, he fairly soared
Upward, higher and higher
In a last burst of glory
His team won the game
Yesterday's hero'd attained
His final fifteen seconds of fame
As you can see,
This game is between you and
me.
I try to shoot,
But I realize that I'm wearing
boots!
Where are my sneakers?
Wait, they're in my lockers.
I tie my shoe laces tight,
With a smile that's shining
bright.
I'm running to the hoop,
Trying to shoot.
SCORE!!!
I'm winning this game,
The crowd are screaming my
name.
I finally success,
This game is the BEST!!!
My basketball sneakers could make me fly
In fourth grade I could jump so high
I wasn't the best on the team
But I was in my dream
With those shoes, I swear I could touch the sky.
