feel the grass
in your hands ,in between your fingers
feel the turf
under your cleets

fans cheering
standing in bleechers and stomping their feet

to the beat
of a drum
I still adore

a beat that when
I still hear it
it goes all the way down
to the core

through the corner of your eye
see gilfriends smiling face
mom and dad to
in the center
of homeside
they
were always there
to watch you
finish the race

the magic and the wonder
the game
and
the pride

support and hi fives
feelings
you just cant hide

this is panthers mojo
this is hornets sting

when you hear that beat
you get on your feet

you will be found in homeside center as well
showing your support
shouting the go team yell

an old football player
recalling when
nights of lightning
days of thunder
days of glory

the football players story
