Here is one about the all powerful Cubs from last
seaso> n as sung by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.

"All the Way"
> - Eddie Vedder

Don't let anyone say that it's just a
g> ame.


For I've seen other teams and it's never the
s> ame.


When you're born in Chicago, you're blessed
an> d you're healed.


First time you walk into Wrigley
F> ield.



Our heroes wear pinstripes; heroes in
blue.â> €¨

They give us the chance to feel like heroes
too.
> 

Whether we'll win, and if we should lose,



We
k> now someday we'll go all the way.


Yeah! Someday
we'> ll go all the way.



We are one with the Cubs, with
> the Cubs we're in love.


Yeah, hold our head high
as>  the underdogs.


We are not fair weather but foul
we> ather fans!


We're like brothers in arms in the
stre> ets and the stands.



There's magic in the ivy and
t> he old scoreboard.


The same one I stared at as a
ki> d keeping score.


In a world full of greed I could
n> ever want more.



Someday we'll go all the way.

> 
Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.



Yeah,
someda> y we'll go all the way.


Yeah! Someday we'll go all
> the way.



Someday we'll go all the way!



And
> here's to the men and the legends we've known.


Teac> hing us faith and giving us hope.


United we stand
a> nd united we'll fall,

Down to our knees the day we
win>  it all.



Yeah, Ernie Banks said, "Oh let's play
tw> o."


Or did he mean 200 years?


In the same
bal> lpark, our diamond, our jewel.


The home of our joy
> and our tears.



Keeping traditions and wishes made
> new.


The place where our grandfathers' fathers
they>  grew.


A spiritual feeling if I ever knew.


An> d if you ain't been I am sorry for you.



And when
t> he day comes, when that last winning run,


And I'm
c> rying and covered in beer.


I'll look to the sky
and>  know I was right.



To think someday we'll go all
t> he way,


Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.



> Yeah, someday we'll go all the way.


Yeah! Someday
w> e'll go all the way.



Yeah, someday we'll go all
th> e way.


Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.



O> h, someday we'll go all the way.


Yeah! Someday
we'l> l go all the way.



Someday we'll go all the way.
