  • Summary

  • Excited and anxious I await my dream

    To escape, applaud And embrace my team

    Opening day I always can trust

    It’s just for this high That I crazily lust

    Return of our hero Does brighten the days

    Just briefly, my troubles Get lost in the haze

    The grace from the field Arouses the crowd

    Reflects on the days When I was quite proud

    I’m more entranced Than the average fan

    I used to play, you see And I know I still can

    That time I drove the ball With such loft

    My exit atop shoulders As they carried me off

    This pastime and I Just fade into one

    Expanded upon From father and son

    My boy is young And awkward for now

    I just need the time And can show him how

    I really am quite close Just a break away

    From straightening things out And being okay

    I can help my team To regain its glory

    With just a little twist To the same old story

    Players say now They play for themselves

    This causes a burning Within me that dwells

    The fan is the one Who pays for the game

    Which bestows all the riches And welcomed fame

    The players will listen But really don’t hear

    All the while just hiding Behind an invisible tear

    I grow tired now of all this greed

    And chart a course to set things free

    -Gil Renard
