[Intro]
The ball is rolling
(The ball is rolling)
The wheels are turning
(The wheels are turning)
The future’s open
(Still unfolding)
The game is on
(Come along)
[Verse 1]
A long road starts with a single mile
A dream takes shape when you dare to try
A spark becomes a guiding light
Burning in the dark of the night
We can stand around and wait for fate
Or put our hands upon the gate
Push it open, make a way
Turn tomorrow into today
[Pre-Chorus]
One step
(Leads another)
One chance
(Leads another)
One voice
(Leads another)
And suddenly there’s choice
[Chorus]
The ball
(Is in play)
The call
(All the way)
Stand tall
(Starting today)
The ball
(Is in play)
[Verse 2]
Nobody knows what the score will be
Nobody sees all possibility
The future isn’t written down
It’s still being built from the ground
A thousand choices come our way
A thousand chances shape the day
The story bends where people choose
That’s how we win, that’s how we lose
[Pre-Chorus]
One dream
(Leads another)
One hope
(Leads another)
One move
(Leads another)
And suddenly there’s love
[Chorus]
The ball
(Is in play)
The call
(All the way)
Stand tall
(Starting today)
The ball
(Is in play)
[Bridge]
Roll it forward
(Roll it on)
Keep it moving
(From dusk till dawn)
No spectator
(In this game)
Each player
(Signs their name)
Hey!
(Hey!)
Hey!
(Hey!)
The future belongs
(To those who play)
[Instrumental]
[Final Chorus]
The ball
(Is in play)
The call
(All the way)
Stand tall
(Starting today)
The ball
(Is in play)
The ball
(Is in play)
The call
(All the way)
Stand tall
(We’re here to stay)
The ball
(Is in play)
[Outro]
The ball is rolling
(Keep it rolling)
The wheels are turning
(Keep them turning)
The future’s open
(Still unfolding)
The ball
(Is in play)
