If Nobody Believed In You lyrics

I watched him take the two strike call:
He hadn`t tried to swing at all.
I guess he`d had all that he could take,
He walked away, for goodness sake.
His father`s voice was loud an` mean:
`You won`t amount to anything.`

That little boy quit tryin`,
He just walked away.
There were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You`d probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.

That old man said: `One more try,
`I know I`m not too old to try.
`I promise, son, I`ll do my best,
`This time, I`m gonna pass the test.`
`Give me the keys, Dad, an` get in.`
His father never drove again.

That old man quit tryin`,
He just turned away.
An` there were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You`d probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.

We take His name out of schools.
The lawyers say it breaks the rules.
Pledge of allegiance can`t be writ,
An` under God, should not be said.
I wonder how He will take.
I just pray it`s not too late.

What if God quit tryin`,
He just turned away?
There were teardrops on his face?
Tell me, how would you feel?
You`d probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.

Tell me, how would you feel?
You`d probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
