1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We must conquer it! Mate!
This world of name and fame
Let our life be a fun game
In the days of sunshine or rain

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 We must not shrink away
From our fear of fault or defeat
Let our time be worth each second
Thru all the chance we’ve made

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 We must never be tamed
By any result or fate
Let our work be forever
In the moment of every take

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 We must learn to play
For victory, or to lose
‘Cause whatever our triumph is
It will always be a soccer game.

Notes

After watching Barcelona vs Real Marid, I felt unsatisfied, both teams were jammed with the most talented players that could conquer the world, but they could not conquer their own fear of losing, so they did not push up and lost a good chance to gift the world an epic battle. The game overtook all the players. Winning or losing – is that really important? I lost a chance to see the great masters show their true art, and my idols lost their chance too. A man or team who can achieve great things must not be tangled by fear of losing, oh, I miss Achilles.
