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 had all he could take
He walked away, for goodness sake
His father's voice was loud and 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 pa*s the test"
"Give me the keys, dad, and get in"
His father never drove again

That old man quit tryin' he just turned away
And 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 written
And under God, should not be said
I wonder how much 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
