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
