	Story Behind the Song The motovation for this song is a dream that millions have dreamed but only a few have lived. The dream of making it to the World Series. The whole season coming down to one at bat in the bottom of the ninth with two outs. Standing at the plate with a bat and the world on your shoulders. Do you move on or go home? Dream on! Lyrics Baseball time is here again The frost has disappeared We cut the grass and chalk the lines The start of a new year Every team still has a chance This dream will never stop We battle through these early days To stay among the top The summer days are long and hard They start to take their toll Hearts are making promises A battle for your soul July arrives, the halfway point You see just where you stand Fireworks are in the air The All Star game's at hand We live this dream Since we were kids it's been the same We hear the screams And the people cheer our names We do our best and give our all To try and make it to the fall To make the best of all our swings To be October Kings The sun is sitting lower now And the days are growing short Desperation's in the air That's the nature of our sport Every hit is priceless Steal a base and take a chance If things go right this harvest night We just might make the dance Frost is on the pumpkins See your breath float on the air Teams have fallen by the side Yet, you're still standing there. It all comes down to one at bat To move on or go home You're standing at the plate my friend You feel so all alone We live this dream Since we were kids it's been the same We hear the screams And the people cheer our names We do our best and give our all To try and make it to the fall To make the best of all our swings To be October Kings
