You're the final man,
The last one who can,
With the ball right at your feet.
The pressure is on,
You try to stay strong,
As millions of eyes watch you sigh.
One step, two step, three step back,
Don't think of the talent that you lack,
Just the goals gaping mouth ahead.
The goalie glares out,
There's not a chant or a shout,
As you take your final breath.
Now your running, forward
forward, toward,
the innocent ball in the grass.
Swing your leg back and scream,
For country, for team,
And let your warrior cry be heard.
And its flying away,
Could today be the day?
There's sweat streaks down your back.
A perfect spin,
So good its a sin,
And you just can't watch anymore.
There's a swish and a roar,
And you know its a score,
As the crowd gets to its feet.
They're running to you,
In thier faces its true.
You've won.
