As you walk on
Into the 22 yards
Listening to the rhythm
Of the 40 thousand beating hearts
As you jump in your stride
When you take your mark
As you look into the crowd
Searching for your heart
Remember this day
For the nation would remember too
They will celebrate your victories
And at your loss they’ll cry with you
You are the battle weary soldier
Looking for pride in that crowd
You should know our hearts maybe weary
But our heads will be unbowed
Today we stand for the love
Of an Englishman’s game
And as a storm slowly brews in the south end
You know you will play as foes but remain best of friends
It matters not what you do today
For the nation you will remain great
And if you don’t end up glorious
You should know that Greatness is Contagious…
