The crowd rose to their feet
Kerumunan berdiri dengan semangat
'round a diamond made of clay
di sekitar lapangan yang terbuat dari tanah liat
a little boy was rounding third
seorang bocah kecil berlari melewati base ketiga
but the ball beat him to the plate
tapi bola lebih dulu sampai ke home plate
before the dust could even settle
sebelum debu sempat mengendap
the other team began to cheer
tim lawan mulai bersorak
instead of riding up on shoulders
bukannya diangkat di bahu teman-teman
he's fighting back the tears
dia berusaha menahan air mata
I wish I could've won
Seandainya aku bisa menang
I wish I knew how that feels
Seandainya aku tahu rasanya
I wish I could've won
Seandainya aku bisa menang
faster than the throw from centerfield
lebih cepat dari lemparan dari lapangan tengah
'cause being the hero, sure looks like a lot of fun
soalnya jadi pahlawan, pasti sangat menyenangkan
and I wish I was there
dan seandainya aku ada di sana
I wish life was fair
Seandainya hidup ini adil
I wish I could've won
Seandainya aku bisa menang
sitting there by the dugout
duduk di sana dekat ruang ganti
another boy was watching through the fence
bocah lain mengintip lewat pagar
and dreaming 'bout the things that he could do
dan bermimpi tentang hal-hal yang bisa dia lakukan
if he was only given half a chance
jika dia hanya diberi setengah kesempatan
amazed at the reaction of the team
terpesona oleh reaksi tim
kicking dirt and pitching fits
menendang tanah dan marah-marah
he says, "I know they'd sit it differently if they could see from where I sit
dia bilang, "Aku tahu mereka akan melihatnya berbeda jika mereka bisa melihat dari tempatku duduk"
I wish I could've lost
Seandainya aku bisa kalah
I wish I knew how that feels
Seandainya aku tahu rasanya
I wish that I could walk
Seandainya aku bisa berjalan
without the help of these four wheels
tanpa bantuan kursi roda ini
I'd be as happy as a hero
Aku akan bahagia seperti pahlawan
just to play the game at all
hanya untuk bisa bermain game ini sama sekali
and I wish that I was there
dan seandainya aku ada di sana
I wish that life was fair
Seandainya hidup ini adil
I wish I could've lost
Seandainya aku bisa kalah
yeah I wish that life was fair
ya, seandainya hidup ini adil
and I could get out of this chair
dan aku bisa keluar dari kursi ini
I wish I could've lost
Seandainya aku bisa kalah
