[Verse 1]
Morning on the infield
Dirt on my shoes
Sun up on the bleachers
Heard the whole town move
Kids with brand new gloves
Eyes on the wall
One swing, one spark
And you feel it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Count it up
Two outs, two hands
Hold your breath
Watch it land
This old game
Still makes sense
Every kid
Gets a chance
[Chorus]
Baseball is the future
Baseball is the future
Swing that hope right over
Swing it clean and true
Baseball is the future
Baseball is the future
Crack of that bat
Pulling us through
[Verse 2]
Granddad's scorecard
Folded and worn
My little brother
Wears it like a crown
Sunday on the backlot
Dust and cheers
Everybody shows up
When the bases clear
[Pre-Chorus]
Count it up
Two outs, two hands
Hold your breath
Watch it land
This old game
Still makes sense
Every kid
Gets a chance
[Chorus]
Baseball is the future
Baseball is the future
Swing that hope right over
Swing it clean and true
Baseball is the future
Baseball is the future
Crack of that bat
Pulling us through
[Bridge]
From the first pitch
To the last light
We keep believing
All right, all right
Line drive dreams
In every town
We rise up
We don't back down
[Final Chorus]
Baseball is the future
Baseball is the future
Swing that hope right over
Swing it clean and true
Baseball is the future
Baseball is the future
Crack of that bat
Pulling us through
Baseball is the future
Baseball is the future
Yeah, the next one's ours
And the sky is blue
