Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson
Just wanted to play
Didn't want to save the day
Jackie entered through the door
Never wanted to start a war
For Jackie, baseball wasn't just a game
Now he's in the Hall of Fame
He was always treated rough
But didn't want to be so tough
Presenting skills in every way
Stealing bases every day
Racism had no reason
Getting ready for next season
Playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers
In the stands, there were monsters
Father left, threw with right
Bullied because he wasn't white
Made it to the big leagues
A very good man
Always wanted to stand
While running bases he always rushed
Died at 53, people were crushed
