HERO'S AND CHAMPIONS.

    (THE WORLD CUP 2010).

The beautiful game,

Burns a new flame,

A landmark in history

Gracing all with its fame.

South Africa's poised, in

Great splendour's boat,

Crowned wearing the cloak,

As the year's world cup host,

Heralding new promise, unity

Empathy and hope.

Pride of a continent opens

Her doors,

Welcoming nations to her 

Colourful land, eventful skies 

And exotic shores.

May the games begin,

May the best team win.

Hold the torch high

Let its legacy ring;

As each country's flags fly

Silently, the winds of hope sings,

For all teams are Hero's and 

Champions indeed!

This magnificent occasion gives 

Joy to our lives,

And shows countries can come

Together through love of a kind.

And the beautiful game;

With its power and strength,

Involves us to cheer, cry and

Represent,

And share in its heritage with all

Honour and respect,

To simply be a part of is a blast,

In the world's most beautiful event!
