518. Oh Mighty Ash

Oh mighty ash held in my hand
Gift me with your inner strength
Bless my soul with your aged wisdom
Help me succeed at any length
Let me see what others cannot
Make all men feel your might
May a thousand ears hear your thunder
Let them know you rule this night
I pray that you and I become as one
No greater foe will they ever see
Together we’ll give meaning to your existence
No humanly power to prevent our victory
May grain and muscles merge together
Bonding man to nature as never before
Be straight and true in your resolution
Giving credence to what we have in store
So on this night let’s work together
For two champions have come this day
Let them feel the sting of failure
With the first pitch made low and away
