Football (Pure and True)

Intro

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Running down the pitch under stadium lights

Chasing that dream since I was small

Every scar and every fall just made me taller

This is the game that taught me it all

Pre-Chorus

When the whistle blows and the world goes quiet

Nothing else matters but the ball and the fight

Chorus

This is football, pure and true

The beautiful game running through

From the barrio to the World Cup view

It's the heartbeat that I'm tethered to

Post-Chorus

Oh, the pitch, the roar, the light

We live for these Friday nights

Verse 2

Down in Rosario, a kid with a left foot gold

Maradona danced through England, a story told

Messi lifted Argentina, the dream made whole

Two gods of the game who captured every soul

Pre-Chorus

When the trophy's raised and the whole world watches

It's more than a sport, it's the life we're chasing

Chorus

This is football, pure and true

The beautiful game running through

From the barrio to the World Cup view

It's the heartbeat that I'm tethered to

Post-Chorus

Oh, the pitch, the roar, the light

We live for these Friday nights

Bridge

From Napoli to Barcelona's glow

A legacy that continues to grow

The magic lives on in every street

Where kids with worn-out boots still believe

Chorus

This is football, pure and true

The beautiful game running through

From the barrio to the World Cup view

It's the heartbeat that I'm tethered to
