The Underdog

Don't you ever let this world push you around Use your head and keep your feet firmly on the ground If you get knocked down Get back up and try again And don't you ever lose that sparkle in your eyes Don't bottle up your passion like a jar of fireflies And if you ever lose sight of your light And you feel like givin' in Don't you forget your faith in God above Don't you forget your mom and daddy's love When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog Don't buy a thing unless you can pay in cash Go ahead and throw those credit cards in the trash Love is a virtue, honesty is the key Say your prayers, brush your teeth, don't you watch too much tv If you're down in the count, one strike away Choke up and crowd the plate and put the ball in play Keep your nose down when you win Keep your head up when you lose And you're gonna lose Don't you forget your faith in God above Don't you forget your mom and daddy's love When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog And there will come a day When I will fly away So make me smile while we're apart You gotta sing from your soul and play with all of your heart There's a good chance your heart will break in two Trust that God has someone special planned for you Did you know I was down on love and luck When he sent your mom to me? Someday you'll have babies of your own So cherish every moment You're gonna blink and they'll be grown The greatest honor that I've ever had Is having you call me your dad Boys, don't forget your faith in God above Don't you forget your mom and daddy's love When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog
