Throws a worn out ball at a rusty rim
Backboard throws it right back at him
Chases it down, shoots again out there in that driveway
Mama flips the light, calls him in for supperas
He hits that game winner last second buzzer beater fade away
Big dreams of the NBA
Hey why not, send up a few wishes
Every big shot has a thousand misses
You gotta keep swinging if you wanna hit it
Or somebody else is gonna go get it
On center stage or getting the girl
Walking on the moon on top of the world
Everybody, anybody who's ever been there
Was just a kid from somewhere
To every boy with a lasso and cowboy hat
Who says he's gonna be a rodeo man
And every little girl
Who's teaching class to a row of cabbage patch kids
And the firefighter,
10 years old who saving the day with the garden hose
The ballerina in the talent show who's dreaming of Broadway
So hey why not, send up a few wishes
Every big shot has a thousand misses
You gotta keep swinging if you wanna hit it
Or somebody else is gonna go get it
On center stage or getting the girl
Walking on the moon on top of the world
Everybody, anybody who's ever been there
We're all just a kid from somewhere
Somewhere somewhere out there, a kid is dreaming believing
That they can be anything
So hey why not, send up a few wishes
Every big shot has a thousand misses
You gotta keep swinging if you wanna hit it
Or somebody else is gonna go get it
On center stage or getting the girl
Walking on the moon on top of the world
Everybody, anybody who's ever been there
We're all just a kid from somewhere
