Battery '22

 
I gotta admit it…
I felt a sense of pride watching him walk into the field
Knowing his first day of camp was something totally new
I guess it was just me seeing part of me rubbing off on him
And yet he still has so much to learn, so much to do

He’s got a sarcastic sense of humor and a loving personality
I know he’s got a knack for music as far as I can tell
He’ll discover about the ethics and principles of teamwork
The hard work that goes into building something big as well

He’s not the little guy I used to carry in arms anymore
He’s a young man coming of age about to make the team
I’m happy he’ll make lasting friendships and memories
And that together, they’ll go a chase their own dreams

I’m really excited for him, proud he made the battery
Us old timers know how good it feels to make the line
I guess I’m just reliving a little bit of my old glory days
Being part of something is valuable and now it’s his time
