We play this game
It brings us joy

It allows us to use our skills
Lets us run and kick
It even lets us tackle

Kicking goals
Talking with friends
Making fun of the opposing team

It brings us joy
To run and yell with our teammates

We play this game
It brings us joy

We get injured
And damaged
Yet we continue
To play our hardest

We play this game
It brings us joy

Running in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Covering ourselves in mud

We play this game
It brings us joy

This game is known
Throughout the world
But by different names
We call it
SOCCER
