Van Dyke Parks - One Home Run lyrics

Parks-Furumoto We want just one home run That's all that we are after My son I been around the diamond But not for many a year And I have lost and won The cost in tears and laughter You just step up and face that pitcher When these two words you hear Batter up! batter up! With His eye on the sparrow you'll fly like an arrow on high Batter up! batter up! Whether losing or winning in only beginning You'll make it on home by and by You take a bat of pine From some denuded forest The glove was made by Mr.Spaulding From a cow in Salvador And by some power divine The crowd joins in the chorus It is a case of now or never And you can hear them roar Ko ko lo to ki me ku to ki Ka ze wa to ma li To mo ni su su mi yu ko Mi la i bo ku la no Ao zo la hi lo ga lu no ha la ni yu ko Kyo o wa ta no shi i ku sa ya kyu u sa Bo ku no ne ga i wa ta ta hi to tsu no Ho o mu la no i pa tsu u tsu da ke sa Ta da bo lu ni mu ka i o mo i ki i li pu le i su ru da ke
