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
