Third Strike At Love
By City Life-Henry Walker
[VERSE 1]
Looking down at my watch, I can see it’s time
To close the book on a story I swore would shine
Through years of pain and misery, we fought until the end
Love has claimed its victims — maybe hope waits ’round the bend
[PRE‑CHORUS]
But I refuse to call it quits, I’ll give love another try
I’ve been knocked down before, but I still believe I can fly
[CHORUS]
I know there’s someone out there for me
I know that happiness is just a smile away
Once again, it’s my turn at the plate
I gotta make it this time, can’t let my heart break
’Cause it’s my third strike at love —
And I’m swinging for the win today
[VERSE 2]
I’ve learned from every heartbreak, every tear I cried
I’ve patched the holes in my spirit, found some strength inside
I’m done with chasing shadows, done with holding on to pain
I’m stepping into sunlight, letting hope call out my name
[PRE‑CHORUS]
No, I won’t let fear decide, I’ll keep reaching for the sky
Love may take its time, but I know it won’t pass me by
[CHORUS]
I know there’s someone out there for me
I know that happiness is just a smile away
Once again, it’s my turn at the plate
I gotta make it this time, can’t let my heart break
’Cause it’s my third strike at love —
And I’m swinging for the win today
[BRIDGE]
Maybe this time I’ll find a heart that fits with mine
Maybe this time the stars will finally align
I’ve been broken, but I’m healing, and I’m ready for the climb
Love ain’t done with me — I feel it in the signs
[FINAL CHORUS]
I know there’s someone out there for me
I know that happiness is just a smile away
This time I’m stepping to the plate
I’m gonna make it count, no matter what it takes
’Cause it’s my third strike at love —
And I’m swinging like it’s opening day
Yeah, it’s my third strike at love…
But I’m swinging for the win today
