The Captain's Speech

There comes a time in everyone's life

When you've got to stand up

And you've got to go toe-to-toe.

You feel your preparation

And your love for the game

Will help you reach your destination,

But they feel the same.

You see the podium

And your trophy is glistening,

But the thing between you and what you want to become

Is the fight inside that team.

Come, please shake my hand.

Let’s give these folks a show.

Please bring everything you can.

They say there’s no I in team

But try and tell that to me.

Everyone of us will sweat and burn and bleed

To get this victory.

We’ve seen what they can do,

And we respect everything they’ll bring,

But let’s forgo the rest of the captain’s speech,

It’s time they met this team.

I see greatness inside you

And I know how far you’ll go.

Few can crush dreams that way they do

But there’s something you need to know.

They can never take something that we will not let go.

The underdog is a vicious beast, when it’s time to eat, let’s go.

Come, please shake my hand

Let’s give these folks a show.

Please bring everything you can.

They say there’s no I in team

But try and tell that to me.

Everyone of us will sweat and burn and bleed

And that’s not what they need.

We’ve seen what they can do,

And we respect everything they’ll bring,

But let’s forgo the rest of the captain’s speech,

It’s time they met this team.

It’s time we take this dream

Everyone of us we need.

There is greatness in this team.

This is the captain’s speech.

There is greatness in this team.

This is the captain’s speech.
