They fight to win...
(these brave, strong men)
for glories contained...
in just ONE pigskin.
With each hearty man
prepared for the test,
(to reach for the challenge)
of "ultimate chess"
What force doth drive them?
(on.. ever yet? )
(as onemore pass
is heaven-ward sent?)
With every dream (and breath)
held on high...
(pinned on a pig...
as it sails thru the sky )
And why all the risk?
Why? (such great injuries? )
The answers are really quite clear
(if you'll see )
It's not about plays,
it's not about downs-
but winning, (or losing)
when life kicks you 'round,
And so they will fight...
(these brave, hearty men)
and when they are done...
They'll do it again.
Many the reasons
within every eye-
(to seek out the dream)
(of a pig in the sky)
But none of it matters
(when crowds rise to cheer)
(forgotten in moments-
their worries and fears )
As everyone screams
for the pig to survive...
Mirroring passions
(of life) as we strive.
For some it is money
For some it is love
(some just don't know)
and some play for fun.
For some it's the sight
(of a firm , padded butt)
while others toss THEIR coin
with sweet Lady Luck.
Some like the crunching
(and clashing) of man....
and wild -hearted lovers
(that scream from the stands)
While others seek balance
between Life and Death:...
and beating the odds
(to stand with the best)
and so they will fight
(these brave,hearty men)
Each for a reason
they hold , deep within.
One side will lose--
and One side will win--
(the glories contained
in just ONE pigskin)
And when they're all done...
they'll come back , (to test)
the Heartbeat and Challenge
of " Ultimate Chess"
