about

A musical tribute to Hammerin' Hank Aaron, a true American hero on and off the field. Inspired by these words of his:

“My motto was always to keep swinging,” he said. “Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging.”

- Hank Aaron

lyrics

When life comes at you fast/ or throws you a curve
whatever you do… Keep swinging
When some say you can’t / And others say you won’t
whatever you do… Keep swinging

Sometimes you’ll take the pitch/ sometimes you’ll swing and miss
But if you watch a strike pass by/ you’ll wish…
you stepped up to the plate/ to show the world you’re great
Your motto was always... Keep swinging

Keep your eye on the ball/ No matter the call
Run the bases round/ As your spikes hit the ground
With your head held proud/ And a smile for the crowd
Keep on, keep on, keep on... Keep on swinging

Making the cut, just isn’t good enough/
Gotta stay at the top of your game
When you’re down in a slump, and you think your number’s up
Whatever you do… keep swinging

Keep your eye on the ball/ No matter the call
Run the bases round/ As your spikes hit the ground
With your head held proud/ And a smile for the crowd
Keep on, keep on, keep on... Keep on swinging

When there’s trouble off the field/ And you’ve got a bad feel
The wind starts to howl/ And things get real
Just Remember this advice/ And don’t think twice
Grab your bat, step on up and keep swinging

Keep your eye on the ball/ No matter the call
Run the bases round/ As your spikes hit the ground
With your hea held proud/ And a smile for the crowd
Keep on, keep on, keep on... Keep on swinging

When the game is done/ And your jersey’s been hung
And the world celebrates/ how far you’ve come
Think of those you inspire and help reach higher
For your legacy will always be Keep swinging
