Goalkeeper

Looking just like he’s begging for change
Scooping your fate as you watch it go by
All the times he’s been saving your hide
You’ve been supplying the thrill that he rides
And you have to be thankful tonight
He’s got your string, you’re the wandering kite
And he makes it so you do your things
Strengthen the team and then watch it go wild
He can
Stand there
Do his
Thing while
He will
Wait till
The bell
Rings while
He can
Stand there
Do his
Thing while
He will
Wait till
The bell
Rings while
You can’t blame the goalie it’s not like he planned it
You can’t blame the goalie he’s down on his knees
(Oh, the weight of the world)
That ball
Was lost
And he
Stood by
That ball
Was lost
And he
Stands by
I don’t know if I can pass your test as goalie
But I’ll do my best 'cause I can’t leave you lonely
I don’t wish that I could be the greatest goalie
Yet I’ll do my best 'cause I care
They will
Cheer him
As he
Fights on
Shining
Even
From the
Sidelines
They will
Cheer him
As he
Fights on
Shining
Even
From the
Sidelines
You can’t blame the goalie it’s not like he planned it
You can’t blame the goalie he’s down on his knees
(Oh, the weight of the world)
That ball
Was lost
And he
Stood by
That ball
Was lost
And he
Stands by
I don’t know if I can pass your test as goalie
But I’ll do my best 'cause I can’t leave you lonely
I don’t wish that I could be the greatest goalie
Yet I’ll do my best 'cause I care
He can
Dive as he
Blocks as he
Kicks as he
Goes to the
Dive as he
Blocks as he
Kicks as he
Goes to the
Dive as he
Blocks as he
Kicks as he
Goes to the
Dive as he
Blocks as he
Kicks as he
Goes to the
Dive as he
Blocks as he
Kicks as he
Goes to the
Dive as he
Blocks as he
Kicks as he
Goes to the
Dive as he
Blocks as he
Kicks as he
Goes to the
Dive as he
Blocks as he
Kicks as he
Goes
