HEROES’ IN THE MIDDLE

Clouded by the glory of those all around,

These fearless giants’ will hold their ground.

They keep back the enemy from getting through,

For their standing general, this job they’ll do.

Face to face they push and shove,

To come out on top, to rise above.

Exhausted and dirty the pain shows’ through blood red,

From head to toe, hurt and cut, between them so much said.

Heroes’ In the middle through the snow and rain,

Nothing could be won without sacrifice and strain.

To these men who give their all,

Show them respect, honor them with the game ball.
