The World Cup is here
It’s been away for 4 years
South Africa is where it starts
That’s where there will be many broken hearts.

People will come from near and far
By train, bus and even by car
The football family has come together
To sing and dance no matter the weather

Apartheid once roamed this land
President de Klerk ruled with a firm hand
Nelson Mandela was taken away
And the people hoped he’d be free one day.

20 years from this, all stopped
And now South Africa feels back on top
The World Cup has brought new hope
and after the World Cup, we still can cope.

Throughout the world, people will cheer
Singing and dancing and drinking cheap beer
The big televisions will be on full show
People shouting their team ‘go go go’.

Teams will go home with sadness in their hearts
Wishing the tournament would restart
Another 4 years till the tournament starts
When they return again with beating hearts.

The 11th of July is where it all ends
When people go home having made new friends
This line I feel I must put in
Let’s just hope England doesn’t win!
