Step Up To The Plate (feat. Ben Crawford, Lisa Howard & Preston Sadleir)

Since you don't wanna come outside and play, why don't we just bring the game to you.

That's a great idea.

No It's not.

Play ball!

Play ball!

You know how I feel about contact sports.

All too well.

Step up to the plate

Anyone can catch.

Anyone can throw.

It's a father-son thing every father should know.

It's like tying a tie or lacing a shoe,

If a fifteen year-old can do it,

So can you.

I should really get back to work.

Anyone can catch.

Not me.

Anyone can throw.

Not now.

It's a basic life skill even you should know.

It's like riding a bike or a trip to the zoo,

If your son wants to do it,

So do you.

I can't ride a bike. And I hate the zoo.

Oh come on, dad!

It's a lovely day for a ball game.

It's a lovely day for a ball game.

It's a lovely day for a ball game.

Pass.

It's what mom would have wanted.

Batter up.

Batter up.

Swing batter, batter, batter!

Swing batter, batter, batter!

Swing batter, batter, batter!

Swing batter, batter, batter!

I don't do games,

I don't do sports,

They bend me out of sorts, alright?

That's what your mother said last night!

Step up to the plate.

Take a breath,

Take a swing,

For a baseball game is a wonderful thing.

Safe or out,

Ball or strike,

There is nothing quite like

An inside-your-home home run.

I don't do games,

I don't do sports,

No matter how odd it may seem.

There's no "i" in team!

Step up to the plate.

Take a breath,

Take a swing,

For the chance to connect is a wonderful thing.

Fair or foul,

Hit or miss,

You couldn't write this,

An inside-your-home home run.

Still not doing it.

looks like a real chatter box

In the batter box!

Batter up!

Batter up!

Swing batter, batter, batter!

Swing batter, batter, batter!

Swing batter, batter, batter!

Swing batter, batter, batter!

Anyone can catch.

Anyone can throw.

Father-son things every father should know.

Tying a tie or lacing a shoe

Are some father-son things

I think I can do!

Step up to the plate.

Take a breath,

Take a swing,

For a baseball game is a wonderful thing.

Rain or shine,

Brag or brawl,

You could touch 'em all

With an inside-your-home home run.

A pitcher, a catcher, and me.

A perfect unit of three.

All three

Step up to the plate.

Take your time,

Take your swing,

Every chance to connect is a wonderful thing.

Hit or miss,

Win or lose,

Everybody could use

An inside-your-home home run!
