Some for the money
Some for the show
Some for the credit
Some expect it from the get go
Some get bush-leagued
Some win the rings
Some get high reflecting glory that the good Lord brings
Shortstop, standing in the lurch
Bridging faith and field research
High-wire balance, every move is inspired
Hedge your bets and handicaps
Shortstop's here to mind the gaps
Lord, who will rise up when that number's retired?
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
Some get lazy
Fake like they're lame
Some warm benches
Got no pa**ion for the big game
Who's got spirit?
Who do you love?
Whose right hand is firmly planted in a golden glove?
Shortstop, standing in the lurch
(In the lurch)
Bridging faith and field research
(Field research)
High-wire balance, every move is inspired
(Every little move now)
Hedge your bets and handicaps
(Put your money up)
Shortstop's here to mind the gaps
(Mind the gaps)
Lord, who will rise up when that number's retired?
(Who's He gonna rise up?)
(And the moral of the story?)
(And the moral of the story?)
Never send a towel-snapping,
Cup-adjusting,
Glory-grabbing,
Full o' baloney,
Sanctimony-spewing rookie in
To do a big man's job
(Yessiree, Bob)
Shortstop, standing in the lurch
(Standing in the middle, every little move)
Bridging faith and field research
(Every little move, every little move)
High-wire balance, every move is inspired
(Every little move, every little move)
Hedge your bets and handicaps
(Put your money up)
Shortstop's here to mind the gaps
(Standing in the middle, standing in the middle)
Lord, who will rise up when that number's retired?
(Standing in the middle, standing in the middle)
(Standing in the middle, now)
Shortstop, standing in the lurch
(Standing in the middle)
Bridging faith and field research
(Standing in the middle)
High-wire balance, every move is inspired
(Every little move now)
Hedge your bets and handicaps
(Put your money up)
Shortstop's here to mind the gaps
(Mind the gaps)
Lord, who will rise up when that number's retired?
(Who's He gonna rise up?)
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
