it's more than just a game

Basketball is just a game
You pass
You shoot
You score
It’s simple, right?
It’s just a game
But sometimes it is more than that
Much more

Playing basketball makes me feel strong
It gives me more confidence in myself
It makes me wanna be something in my life
Basketball makes me feel healthy
When I play basketball, it helps me make new friends
And I love being part of a team

Basketball brings us together
It connects us
And no matter where we come from
We are on a court
We all speak the same language
We dream bigger
We dream higher

sometimes we win
sometimes we don’t
But no matter what
We always have to regard
Basketball teaches us
It teaches us that even when there is no chance to win
There is still a opportunity to be a hero

It takes effort
You have to practise
Practise real hard
You have to practise dedication
teamwork
sportsmanship
Patience
Unity
and love
And if we can practise those things to make our game better
Can we practise those things to make our world better

Basketball is just a game
But sometimes it is more than that
Much more…
