Here they are, anticipating,
Singing,
Laughing,
Moving,
Chatting,
Waving,
Shouting,
Hoping,
Betting,
Casting smiles... or grins.
Millions of eyes will glisten,
Millions of ears will listen
Till the time they hear the whistle.
Then it all begins.
Victims,
Heroes,
Stars
And losers,
You can never make excuses,
You can only play.
Fate
And fortune,
Shame
And glory
Will entwine to make a story
Only for today.
Win, whatever price you're paying,
They'll be screaming,
Crying,
Praying,
They'll be with you while you're playing,
Every heart and soul.
Do the best you can to please them,
Let them hear the word that thrills them,
Cheers or frightens,
Wounds or heals them,
And the word is
Goal!
