[Silence]
\n[Arrangement: Driving piano rock, Hammond organ, crowd-response vocals, energetic anthem]<\/p>\n
[Intro]
\nThe ball is rolling
\n(The ball is rolling)
\nThe wheels are turning
\n(The wheels are turning)<\/p>\n
The future’s open
\n(Still unfolding)
\nThe game is on
\n(Come along)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nA long road starts with a single mile
\nA dream takes shape when you dare to try
\nA spark becomes a guiding light
\nBurning in the dark of the night<\/p>\n
We can stand around and wait for fate
\nOr put our hands upon the gate
\nPush it open, make a way
\nTurn tomorrow into today<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nOne step
\n(Leads another)
\nOne chance
\n(Leads another)<\/p>\n
One voice
\n(Leads another)
\nAnd suddenly there’s choice<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nThe ball
\n(Is in play)
\nThe call
\n(All the way)<\/p>\n
Stand tall
\n(Starting today)
\nThe ball
\n(Is in play)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nNobody knows what the score will be
\nNobody sees all possibility
\nThe future isn’t written down
\nIt’s still being built from the ground<\/p>\n
A thousand choices come our way
\nA thousand chances shape the day
\nThe story bends where people choose
\nThat’s how we win, that’s how we lose<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nOne dream
\n(Leads another)
\nOne hope
\n(Leads another)<\/p>\n
One move
\n(Leads another)
\nAnd suddenly there’s love<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nThe ball
\n(Is in play)
\nThe call
\n(All the way)<\/p>\n
Stand tall
\n(Starting today)
\nThe ball
\n(Is in play)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nRoll it forward
\n(Roll it on)
\nKeep it moving
\n(From dusk till dawn)<\/p>\n
No spectator
\n(In this game)
\nEach player
\n(Signs their name)<\/p>\n
Hey!
\n(Hey!)<\/p>\n
Hey!
\n(Hey!)<\/p>\n
The future belongs
\n(To those who play)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nThe ball
\n(Is in play)
\nThe call
\n(All the way)<\/p>\n
Stand tall
\n(Starting today)
\nThe ball
\n(Is in play)<\/p>\n
The ball
\n(Is in play)
\nThe call
\n(All the way)<\/p>\n
Stand tall
\n(We’re here to stay)
\nThe ball
\n(Is in play)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nThe ball is rolling
\n(Keep it rolling)
\nThe wheels are turning
\n(Keep them turning)<\/p>\n
The future’s open
\n(Still unfolding)
\nThe ball
\n(Is in play)<\/p>\n
