Emily embroiders, Walter works with weights
Peter plays piano while Milo meditates
Fido fetches frisbee, Stanley studies stars
Frankie takes a photo while Brenda takes the bar
Randall is a runner, Debbie likes to draw
They got El Dorado and they got Shangri-la
Everybody's doing everything they can
A purpose and a passion, keep it going, try again

Dear Sir or Madam, to whom it may concern
I listened to your demo and then I watched it burn
Gave it thirty seconds, threw it down the hatch
File under "firewood," game, set, and match
You're not what we are looking for, you'll never be
I won't give you a reason, it wasn't up to me
Record label lemming, catch me if you can
Come on back and see me if you decide to try again

And it's hard when you see
Someone else live your dream
But I know there's room for us all
So I'll get up after I fall
And try again

Sitting in the bleachers, dreaming of the day
Bottom of the ninth, and you make your double play
Mama told you good things come to those who wait
But nothin' happens if you don't step up to the plate
You're still in the bleachers, light beer in your cup
You'll never drop the ball if you never pick it up
But if you do not play you are never gonna win
Gotta try it once, if you fail, you gotta try again
