Batter Up

Tara Darity
Walking out on the diamond
Stepping up to home plate
Get into your position
You're going to be great

The first pitch is thrown
And it's a little high
Take your best swing
Don't let it go by

Oh that's the first strike
You will get another chance
Let's really try to focus
Get back into your stance

Here comes the next one
You hit it right on
Yes it's a home run
And that ball is gone

Now you take off running
It's time to round the bases
You just won the baseball game
Look at the other teams' faces
