This song it goes out to all
Who got picked last at basketball
The short kids, the chubby, the awkward, the slow
The ones with giant spirits and the frames that didn't grow
I know its hard to never get the call
To be the one, that no one else would choose
I know it hurts to be the last against the wall
I understand, I've been in your shoes
This song is a prayer for all
Who were made fun of in the hall
The nerdy, the timid, the goofy, the kind
The one's who can find happiness, but only in their mind
I know its hard to hold back all the tears
When growing up is anything but fun
I know it hurts to be the one to take the jeers
I've stood there too, when its begun
Yes, I've been there and I lived through it
And when you stand alone you're one of many gone before
There's no quick fix, no easy way to do it
Just don't forget
When its over and done
There's so much more
This song offers hope to all
Who grew up backs against the wall
The dreamers, the artists, the finders of new ways
The ones who learned to be themselves
Then set the world ablaze
And when you think you'll never make it through
I say to you
There's greatness and courage
And so much in you
And all of the ones
Who were picked last at basketball
