Putting away the old grudge

Song Description

Lyrics

If I would have had the chance to play, I could have been a star.
Of the day, of the time, when I didn?t have a dime
But I could dream, I could dream about it all.

In my nightmares I do see
All my teammates stare at me
All the coaches yell and scream, my struggles never did succeed

In my dreams I had the chance but nightmares spoiled my romance.
On this bench I sit and die until the day we say goodbye.

And I try to put the pain back far behind? behind a wall.

Coach said ?son get in the game, put your chinstrap on get ready to play!?
I put a smile on as I felt so proud
As I ran on the field and I heard the crowd
I heard the signals heard the call as I watched the QB snap the ball.
I ran the route they planned for me and I looked back then he?s on One knee.

?Kill the clock, sit on the ball, it?s all for one and one for all!?
win the game one last time as my senior year passed right on by.
No more catches, no more cheers, no more drops, no more tears
No more friendships till the end, no trophy we can all defend.

Chorus

Solo

Behind the wall I?ve built up now, behind the dreams I?ve left behind
In my sorrows I do pray that I?d get this chance to play.
As I sit , as I dream, as I sing to you all my memories
My chance is here this day, I still am in this game.

On this bench I am surrounded by the people in the crowd
They were sitting here that day, that day that coach said I could play.
If he?s sitting here right now hearing what I have to say:
Once anger was my voice, but now forgiveness is my choice.

As I try?
