Eddie Vedder Cubs | Eddie Vedder All The Way

Lyrics
Don’t let anyone say that it’s just a game
For I’ve seen other teams and it’s never the same
When you’re born in Chicago you’re blessed and you’re healed
The first time you walk into Wrigley Field
Our heroes wear pinstripes, heroes in blue
Give us the chance to feel like heroes too
Forever we’ll win and if we should lose
We know someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we’re in love
Yeah, hold our head high as the underdogs
We are not fair-weather but foul-weather fans
We’re like brothers in arms in the streets and the stands
There’s magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard
The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score
In a world full of greed, I could never want more
And someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
And here’s to the men and the legends we’ve known
Teaching us faith and giving us hope
United we stand and united we’ll fall
Down to our knees the day we win it all
And Ernie Banks said “oh, let’s play two”
Or did he mean two hundred years?
In the same ballpark, our diamond, our jewel
The home of our joy and our tears
Keeping traditions and wishes made new
A place where our grandfathers, fathers they grew
A spiritual feeling if I ever knew
And if you ain’t been I am sorry for you
And when the day comes with that last winning run
And I’m crying and covered in beer
I’ll look to the sky and know I was right
To think someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Oh, someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
