THE ROAR OF THE CROWD WRITTEN BY: LOUIS BLANCHARD VOCALS BY: MAK KAYLOR (c) copyright 2001 It was a very special day As you stepped up to the plate You said this is for you dad And you gave it all you had I was so very proud Home run I heard the roar of the crowd And on your wedding day People gathered 'round to pray As you stood there by her side I could see the joy in your eyes This was love without a doubt You kissed I heard the roar of the crowd Then there came a day When you were called away A voice said your son is here And my eyes filled with tears Then the angels gathered 'round Welcome home son I heard the roar of the crowd (chorus) You see, son, you were never left alone I was never really gone I watched over you till god called you home And if you had listened close You could've heard me shouting loud Above the roar of the crowd (repeat last three lines of chorus)
