I watched him take the two strike call:
He hadn't tried to swing at all
I guess he'd had all that he could take,
He walked away, for goodness sake
His father's voice was loud an' 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 drive
"I promise, son, I'll do my best,
"This time, I'm gonna pass the test"
"Give me the keys, Dad, an' get in"
His father never drove again

That old man quit tryin',
He just turned away
An' 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 the schools
The lawyers say it breaks the rules
Pledge of allegiance can't be read,
An' 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
