The Reason for the Season
Fight the hurt
Fight the pain
If you cant take it
This isn't your game
Go left
Go right
Hit the floor
Fight through it, fight
It will all be worth it
In that championship game
If this game is your life
Your sweat can be sacrificed
If the drills hurt to bad
And losing doesnt make you mad
You dont belong here
Go to the stands and cheer
intensity
angles
heart
soul
desire
and the athletic brain
is all you need to win the game
Your strength, your will
Your confidence, your drive
all make you strive
for that better ending score
So fake left, and go right
Leave the defence a deer-in-headlights
Dont take even a second to glance at the floor
you will have the ball no more
Slow the play down
We have the lead, so just relax
Let the clock run when we have the ball
Let the minutes in our favor pass
Theres no more hurt
And no more pain
Congratulations
You just won the game.
