When he takes the field
Like a God he'll heal
All of those who came to pray
A million overtures
A town that he can cure
Remind them of a better day

So look around the place
Time just went and slipped away

The local hero takes a bow
The race is run
And he's leaving town
Don't forget him when he's gone
The local hero is moving on

He seemed to have it all
When history came to call
Hear the buzzing of the crowd
A legendary son
And all our hearts undone
Don't ever lose the love he found

So look around the place
Time just went and slipped away

The local hero takes his vow
The race is run
He's leaving town
Don't forget him when he's gone
The local hero is moving on

So look around the place
Time just went and slipped away

The local hero takes his bow
The race is run
And he's leaving town
Don't forget him when he's gone
The local hero is moving on
And on
