MLB: For Cub Fans Only

Heard this on one of the Chi Sports radio stations yesterday.

Eddie Vedder wrote it for Ernie Bank's birthday..or so they said.
 
Lyrics are as follows:

“Someday We’ll Go All the Wayâ€
Yeah, don’t let them say that it’s just a game.
Well, I’ve seen other teams and it is never the same.
When you go to Chicago, you’re blessed and you’re healed,
The first time you walk into Wrigley Field.
Heroes with pinstripes and heroes in blue,
Give us the chance to feel like heroes do.
Whether we’ll win and if we should lose, we know
Someday we’ll go all the way.
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way.



We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we’re in love.
Hold our heads tall as the underdogs.
We are not fairweather, but farweather fans.
Like brothers in arms, in the suites and the stands.
There’s magic in the Ivy and the old score board.
The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score.
In a world full of greed, we could never want more.
Someday we’ll go all the way.
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way.



Here’s to the men and the legends we’ve known.
Giving us faith and giving us hope.
United we stand and united we’ll fall
Down to our knees the day we win it all.
Yeah Ernie Banks said, “oh, let’s play twoâ€.
I think he meant two hundred years.
Playing at Wrigley, our diamond, our jewel.
The home of our joy and our tears.
Keeping traditions, and wishes made new
The place where our grandfathers’ fathers they grew.
The spiritual feeling if I ever knew.
And when the day comes for that last minute run,
and I’m crying and covered with beer.
I look to the sky and know I was right today.
Someday we’ll go all the way.
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way."



I have two mp3 versions of this song, and both lyrics are slightly different (as Ed so often does). Any chance this replaces "Go Cubs Go"? :yes:
 
I just posted it in the other thread, but i am stoked! I just got an email saying I won the opportunity to purchase 2 tickets to the NLDS at Wrigley next week..going to be a trip of a lifetime!
 
ill get my broom ready when the cubs get swept first round

Go Cubs!
 
Saturday I was happy and sad all in one day, but at least my happiness for the Cubs can continue for a few more weeks, then the stress levels rises for the month of October.
