Coach

Are we workaholics or just crazy
Well no one can ever say that we are lazy
Some days we are parents and even teachers
While you cheer for your child from the bleachers
We are students of our profession
And we truly love what we do, well that's not really a confession
Speaking in X's and O's and odd terminology
Creating a gridiron sketch as complicated as biology
But our science is something everyone around yearns to see
Yelling and screaming at it with great energy
Applauding our efforts even when we come up short
Knowing we don't give up our lives for something that's not just a sport

Bambino

Can my hands help you build something today
They have guided many people in the right way
Together they are interesting you as you read
Producing a craving that you think you need
These hands have seen a rough life
These hands have cherrished my wife
They have been raised in victory
Also pushed away in defeat
Strong enough I have held the earth in one hand
Or maybe it was upside-down day and it was a hand stand
So I ask again can my hands help you build something today
How about a life that you and I can love until we are old and gray
