If you are a true Chicago Cubs fan this song was penned just for them by Eddie Vedder. It will make you well up with pride and most definitely make you cry.

Eddie Vedder, an Evanston Illinois native, was asked by Ernie Banks back in 2007 to specifically write a song for the Chicago Cubs. According to WGN "the official video was produced for Vedder during the Cubs playoff run in 2008, and then updated for Pearl Jam’s performance at Wrigley in 2013."

You have watch and listen to this!

 

 

Oh my gosh! I've got goosebumps. This did almost make me cry and make me feel so proud of this team and how far they've come.

There's a only a few songs that make me cry the singing of out National Anthem is one of them, but I gotta say this one is good.

Eddie Vedder you knocked this out of the park. The song is so perfect the day.

Cub fans raise you heads up high and sing it loud...

"Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way!"

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!!!!

By the way here are all lyrics if you'd like to sing along to this as you replay it over over before the big game.

Don’t let anyone say that it’s just a game
For I’ve seen other teams and it’s never the same
When you’re born in Chicago you are blessed and you’re healed
The first time you walk into Wrigley Field

Our heroes wear pinstripes and heroes in blue
Give us the chance to feel like heroes too
Whether we’ll win and if we should lose,
We know someday we’ll go all the way,
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way!

We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we’re in love
Hold our head high as the the underdogs
We are not fair-weather, but foul-weather fans
Like brothers in arms, in the streets and the stands

There’s magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard
The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score
In a world full of greed I could never want more
Someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Someday we’ll go all the way

Here’s to the men and the legends we’ve known
Teaching us faith and giving us hope
United we stand and united we’ll fall
Down to our knees the day we win it all

Yeah Ernie Banks said “Well, let’s play two”
Or did he mean two hundred years
In the same ball park, our diamond, our jewel
The home of our joy and our tears

Keeping traditions and wishes made new
The place where our grandfathers’ fathers grew
The spiritual feeling if I ever knew
If you ain’t been, I am sorry for you

And when the day comes for that last winning run
And I’m crying covered in beer
I look to the sky and know I was right
To think someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah someday we’ll go all the way
Some day we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way

 

GO CUBS!!!!!
