The Greatest歌词

[00:00.00] Little boy, in a baseball hat stands in the field with his ball and bat.
[00:17.01]Says, " I am the greatest player of them all" puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball.
[00:28.23]And the ball goes up and the ball comes down swings his bat all the way around
[00:33.93]The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.
[00:45.36]Now the little boy doesn't say a word, picks up his ball, he is undeterred.
[00:56.97]Says, " I am the greatest there has ever been" and he grits his teeth and he tries it again.
[01:08.19]And the ball goes up and the ball comes down swings his bat all the way around
[01:13.86]The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.
[01:25.32]He makes no excuses, he shows no fear, he just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers.
[01:38.13]Little boy, he adjusts his hat, picks up his ball, stares at his bat
[01:49.35]Says," I am the greatest, the game is on the line " and he gives his all one last time.
[02:02.88]And the ball goes up and the moon so bright, swings his bat with all his might
[02:09.21]The world's as still, as still can be, the baseball falls and that's strike three.
[02:21.96]Now it's suppertime and his momma calls, little boy starts home with his bat and ball.
[02:33.54]Says, " I am the greatest, that is a fact, but even I didn't know I could pitch like that!"
[02:46.50]Says, " I am the greatest,that is understood, but even I didn't know I could pitch that good!"
