The Heart of the Game (Fiske/Fasman/Blaisch)

There’s a kid down the street
He got basketball eyes
He got basketball dreams
Burnin’ inside
When he shoots in his drive-way
lost in fantasy
He’s hittin’ clutch shots on national TV

He got basketball heroes
All the kings of the court
He’ll grow to be like them
At the top of the sport

He’ll rise through the ranks
From the playground to the pros
And keep that kid in him
Wherever he goes

Chorus
‘Cause there’s a kid at the heart of the game
All around the world
There are kids who dream the same
Fly down the floor, take to the sky
Live the dream, and no one can deny
There’s a kid at the heart, at the heart of the game

There’s a man down the street
Silver hair, gettin’ old
He was once quite a player
So it’s been told
And he sees that young kid
And he watches him grow
And he wonders
If that kid will come to know:

Just what it takes
To be the best
To rise to the challenge
To take on the test
To reach deep inside
For that warrior’s pride
For that zone to be in
That will to win
Will to win, will to win

Repeat chorus
