about

This song was created during a Monty Harper songwriting residency at Truman Elementary in Norman, Oklahoma, May 2014.

lyrics

Breaking news from the NFL
I just fell on my face
I get back up as the cheerleaders yell
And catch a pass with grace

We are not all-stars
But we put the effort in
We may not be perfect
But we try again and again

Breaking news from the NBA
My free throws really stunk
But on the next play I start a break
Then make a windmill dunk

We are not all-stars
But we put the effort in
We may not be perfect
But we try again and again

Wa wa wa woopsie
Everybody makes mistakes
Wa wa wa what should we do?
Practice is what it takes

Breaking news from MLB
I just dropped a pop fly
But when I get to the batter's box
I hit it to the sky

We are not all-stars
But we put the effort in
We may not be perfect
But we try again and again

We are not all-stars
But we put the effort in
We may not be perfect
But we try again and again
