Lyrics

Intro

Dust settles, early dawn, city barely wakes

Coffee in his hand, dreaming past the gates

Journey from a far-off land, chasing distant dreams

Heart on his sleeve, rivers run through seams

Verse 1

Wind from the diamond, whispers through his mind

Father's words in silence chasing every sign

Laces up his boots slow, eyes upon the field

Wishing every pitch thrown, future would be healed

Chorus

Showtime, call the lights on, Ohtani's on the mound

Major League superstar, he's taking the crown

Homerun, watch it fly, World Series on the line

Japanese American pride, 104 and climbing high

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, run it down

Oh oh, showtime now

Verse 2

Crowds roar, another swing, he sends it to the sky

Fastball's lighting up the zone, rival batters sigh

Greatest of all time, every headline, every chart

G.O.A.T. written right beside his name, set apart

Pre-Chorus

From Hokkaido dreams to American cheers

He shattered every doubt, overcoming years

Chorus

Showtime, call the lights on, Ohtani's on the mound

Major League superstar, he's taking the crown

Homerun, watch it fly, World Series on the line

Japanese American pride, 104 and climbing high

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, run it down

Oh oh, showtime now

Bridge

River of memories, reaching for the base

Stories crossing oceans just to find their place

Every kid in Tokyo dreaming with wide eyes

Learning from a legend as another home run flies

Chorus

Showtime, hearts collide, Ohtani leads the way

Major League superstar rewriting every play

Homerun, gold and pride, World Series dreams alive

Japanese American light, 104 keeping hope inside

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, raise it high

Oh oh, showtime pride
