From the favela to the skyscraper, a single dream alight
A rhythm in the asphalt, burning through the night
The world holds its breath, in a moment clear and bright
Waiting for the spark to tear through the divide
It’ s more than a game, it’ s a language we all know
A fire in the soul, that makes the spirit grow
The stadium’ s our temple, and this is our vow…
ONE PULSE, ONE BEAT, FEEL IT IN THE AIR!
From Mexico to Toronto, a cry we all can share!
ONE GOAL, ONE DREAM, LIFTING US FROM THE GROUND!
When the ball hits the net, the whole world makes a sound— YEAH!
Legends aren’ t born in palaces, they’ re forged in pouring rain
Every tackle, every pass, writes a story through the pain
With the colors of our nations, waving like a flag of peace
For ninety minutes, all the wars and struggles cease
For every kid who’ s ever kicked a ball against a wall…
Hear the echo of their hope become a stadium’ s roar!
This is why we rise, this is why we fall and get up once more!
