Benched but Not Broken Lyrics

Signed up for the game, felt my heart ignite With my shiny new jersey and cleats so tight

But the coach shook his head, didn't call my name

On the bench again, just watching the game I fumble, I stumble, but I know I've got the heart

Can't they see potential in this clumsy start It's no fun being benched, left out of the play

Dreaming on the sidelines day after day Give me a shot, let me show my worth

I could light up the field, the best on this earth

The roar of the crowd, the shine of the lights My dreams feel so big on these sleepless nights

But I'm stuck in a chair, feeling small and unseen While my teammates live out what could have been my dream

I'm more than the blunders, I've got something inside A spark that's just waiting for its chance to collide

It's no fun being benched, left out of the play Dreaming on the sidelines day after day

Give me a shot, let me show my worth I could light up the field, the best on this earth

Every pass I miss, every ball I drop Pushes me harder, I'll never stop

One day they'll cheer and I'll take my stance The underdog rising, given one last chance

It's no fun being benched, left out of the play But I'm learning and growing in my own way

Give me a shot, let me show my worth I'll prove I belong, I'll show my worth

Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
