I watched him take the two strike call   He hadn't tried to swing at all   I guess he had all he could take   He walked away, for goodness sake   His father's voice was loud and mean   "You won't amount to anything"      That little boy quit tryin' he just walked away   There were teardrops on his face   Tell me, how would you feel?   You'd probably give up too   If nobody believed in you      That old man said, "One more try   I know I'm not too old to try   I promise, son, I'll do my best   This time, I'm gonna pass the test"   "Give me the keys, dad, and get in"   His father never drove again      That old man quit tryin' he just turned away   And there were teardrops on his face   Tell me, how would you feel?   You'd probably give up too   If nobody believed in you      We take his name out of schools   The lawyers say it breaks the rules   Pledge of allegiance can't be written   And under God, should not be said   I wonder how much he will take   I just pray it's not too late      What if God quit tryin'   He just turned away?   There were teardrops on his face   Tell me, how would you feel?   You'd probably give up too   If nobody believed in you      Tell me, how would you feel?   You'd probably give up too   If nobody believed in you
