He promised to marry her after the games
She accepted his ring and promised the same
 
Her heart went with him on the long trip
She kissed the ring on her finger he'd slipped
 
To the fair land of Germany his travels did end
At the FIFA World Cup Games he made many friends

His heart was on fire with the thoughts of her love
Confident that his team would be blessed from above

From a country miles away 'ore the deep blue seas
He had faith in his God to bring them victory
 
As he entered the field the excitement did mount
The teams were all there and fans he did count
 
Great fame to his country was his to be brought
But the game would be over sooner than he thought
 
With firm determination the goals he did score
His performance was even better than ever before
 
At the very last moment his big chance came
To sink a goal in for his country's name
 
He was the hero and his glory was acclaimed
Happy was the athlete very proud of his name

In honor of all the athletes of the FIFA World Cup
        Games, 2006 in Germany.
 
The FIFA World Cup™ ended up in Italian hands in 2006
after an Azzurri triumph that owed everything to teamwork.
