I watched him take the two strike call
He hadn't tried to swing at all
I guess he'd had all that he could take
He walked away, for goodness sake
His father's voice was loud an' mean
You won't amount to anything
That little boy quit tryin'
He just walked away
There were teardrops on his face
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too
If nobody believed in you
That old man said: One more try
I know I'm not too old to try
I promise, son, I'll do my best
This time, I'm gonna pass the test
Give me the keys, Dad, an' get in
His father never drove again
That old man quit tryin'
He just turned away
An' there were teardrops on his face
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too
If nobody believed in you
We take His name out of schools
The lawyers say it breaks the rules
Pledge of allegiance can't be writ
An' under God, should not be said
I wonder how He will take
I just pray it's not too late
What if God quit tryin'
He just turned away?
There were teardrops on his face?
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too
If nobody believed in you
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too
If nobody believed in you
