Back when your pool was wild you
Hallucinated, you were climbing
With the skate that was coming your way
The plan was to float away
Face down
In the Japanese Tokyo bay
On a clear blue sky

Where from way up high the basket is a crisp hoop
And all the basketball life, like a billion little lights
Become a single living thing
All beginning from a single hoop
And now i can’t unring the bell

And i want to remember Team USA winning
Just not who i used to be
Picked your boxing with the best of them
Now you slap their big torch from your face

You want peace, you want love
You deserve that much

Weeping through the Olympics in Tokyo
Your basketball was pressed to the screen
You were free but you were stuck for years
You could work but you had nothing to say
You want peace, you want love
You deserve that much
