Kenny Rogers - The Greatest

The Greatest
Artist: Kenny Rogers

Little boy,
in a baseball hat
stands in the field
with his ball and bat.

Says, "I am the greatest
player of them all"
puts his bat on his shoulder
and he tosses up his ball.

And the ball goes up
and the ball comes down
swings his bat all the way around
The world so still you can hear the sound,
the baseball falls
to the ground.

Now the little boy
doesn't say a word,
picks up his ball,
he is undeterred.

Says, "I am the greatest
there has ever been"
and he grits his teeth
and he tries it again.

And the ball goes up
and the ball comes down
swings his bat all the way around
The world so still you can hear the sound,
the baseball falls
to the ground.

He makes no excuses,
he shows no fear,
he just closes his eyes
and listens to the cheers.

Little boy,
he adjusts his hat,
picks up his ball,
stares at his bat

Says,"I am the greatest,
the game is on the line"
and he gives his all
one last time.

And the ball goes up and the moon so bright,
swings his bat with all his might
The world's as still,
as still can be,
the baseball falls
and that's strike three.

Now it's suppertime
and his momma calls,
little boy starts home
with his bat and ball.

Says, "I am the greatest,
that is a fact,
but even I didn't know
I could pitch like that!"

Says, "I am the greatest,
that is understood,
but even I didn't know
I could pitch that good!"

For once, I really found something that is really inspiring in a song. It's may be just like who I am. And in the world, that's determination, and not giving up.

In business, people like Donald Trump and Alan Sugar had faced some really down moments. Donald Trump nearly bankrupted his company. Even Martha Stewart faced some charges and was sent to jail. But what did they do to overcome this? They never give up and stayed strong. That is one that would really drive people.

"I am the greatest, player of them all!"
