All The Way
Eddie Vedder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For I've seen other teams and it's never the same
When you're born in Chicago you're blessed and you're healed
The first time you walk into Wrigley Field
Our heroes wear pinstripes, heroes in blue
Give us the chance to feel like heroes too
Forever we'll win and if we should lose
We know someday we'll go all the way
We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we're in love
Yeah, hold our head high as the underdogs
We are not fair-weather but foul-weather fans
We're 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
And someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
And 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
And Ernie Banks said "oh, let's play two"
Or did he mean two hundred years?
In the same ballpark, our diamond, our jewel
The home of our joy and our tears
Keeping traditions and wishes made new
A place where our grandfathers, fathers they grew
A spiritual feeling if I ever knew
And if you ain't been I am sorry for you
And when the day comes with that last winning run
And I'm crying and covered in beer
I'll 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
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Oh, someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Thank you Chicago, for singing along!

No permitas que nadie diga que es sólo un juego
Porque yo he visto a otros equipos y nunca es el mismo
Cuando naces en Chicago que está bendecido y que está curado
La primera vez que entras en el Wrigley Field
Nuestros héroes desgaste uniforme a rayas
Héroes de azul
Nos dan la oportunidad de sentirse como héroes también
Siempre que vamos a ganar y si perdemos debe
Sabemos que algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Sí
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Somos uno con los Cachorros
Con los Cachorros de que estamos en el amor
Sí, mantener la cabeza alta, como los de abajo
No somos aficionados de buen tiempo, pero mal tiempo-
Somos como hermanos de armas en las calles y se levanta la
Hay magia en la hiedra y el marcador de edad
El mismo que miraba como un niño llevando la cuenta
En un mundo lleno de codicia, que nunca podría querer más
Que algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Sí
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Sí
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Sí
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el finalAlgún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Y aquí está para los hombres y las leyendas que hemos conocido
Que nos enseña la fe y nos da esperanza
Unión hace la fuerza y ??unidos vamos a caer
Hasta las rodillas el día en que ganarlo todo
Ernie Banks dijo 'Oh, vamos a jugar dos "
O quiso decir 200 años
En el parque de pelota mismo
Nuestro diamante, la joya
La casa de nuestra alegría y nuestras lágrimas
Mantener las tradiciones y los deseos renovados
Un lugar donde nuestros abuelos, los padres que crecieron
Un sentimiento espiritual, si que he conocido
Y si no has estado lo siento por ti
Y cuando llegue el día en que la carrera de la victoria última
Y yo estoy llorando y cubierto de cerveza
Voy a mirar al cielo y sé que tenía razón
Para que algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Sí
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Sí
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Sí
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final
Algún día vamos a ir hasta el final

Last day dad was alive was the day after the World Series. We talked and cried about the win, he died knowing his team won.

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes 12+ hours after watching one of my dearest dreams come true. My old man wasn't around to teach me the ways of being a Cub fan. But this morning I showed my son what our beloved Cubs did. That's the beauty of this game, the highs and lows create real magic.
Thank you Chicago Cubs! Here's to the future and more WS titles to come!

This is one of the best songs for a sports team I’ve ever heard. This and Go Cubs Go are the best sports songs I’ve ever heard ! Go Cubbies !!! I can say I saw them win it all !!!
Mr. Trox
Cubs fans are some of the best in the League, in my opinion. Because like the lyrics say, "We're not fair weather, but foul weather fans!"
Cubs fans are in it for the long haul, we knew our faith in them would be rewarded
Slyky04
@Mr. Trox so true ! Even if we lose for another 200 years I’ll always be a Cubs fan for life. As bill murray said being a Cubs fan also teaches you life lessons. You’re not gonna win all the time but when you do it’s special.
