The Incredible Power of a Swing

The incredible power of a swing
Can fill man with a great deal of pride,
The sense you can't miss; that special feeling

The crack of the bat, when it is making
The ball take off to the sky with a glide,
The incredible power of a swing

The golf club, size seven iron launching
Small cratered white specks to the sky provide
The sense you can't miss; that special feeling

The red colored fist punching and knocking
Out the one who desires to deride,
The incredible power of a swing

The wooden shaft carved perfect for scoring
By passing and shooting black pucks that slide,
The sense you can't miss; that special feeling

The adrenaline pumping and rushing,
It's felt by many, even those worldwide,
The incredible power of a swing,
The sense you can't miss; that special feeling
