The Beauty of Basketball
Location
There is something about the sound of breath
Something about being so close to death
The sound of all those men panting
The sound of all those men chanting
We appreciate hard work
You'll never see the slightest smirk
We work hard to get better
We aren't here to send love letters
The sweat soaks the floor.
But what for?
You wouldn't understand without being here
All you'd have to do is hear
The sound of all those men panting
None of us will be ranting
Our bodies being pushed to the extreme
A championship is part of what we dream
Just show up
And get close up
Let the sound of this sport encompass you
The sound of the shoe
The sound of all those men panting
We take it one game at a time
Are you enjoying this end rhyme
We push ourselves
We're Santa's elves
Working as a eam
We didn't come to fall
We're here to win it all.
