1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Here we are in 2002
Many countries have something to prove
We waited 4 years for you to come
And here you are as sweet as a crimson plum

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 People from around the world gather for this day
But some people don’t acknowlegde this day
What is this day?

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 With 32 countries, only one can be the best
All the countries are put to the test
With only one winner, but 31 LOSERS
What is this day, with so many losers?

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 This day brings us together
There is only one race, the human race
You can be Black, White, Yellow, Green, Blue, or Red
On the field you are as equal as everyone else
What is this day, non-rascist day?

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 The day has come!
Hatred is gone
On this day we celebrate
The stadium is crowded with krazy fans
Fans holding flags, and beating thier drums, BOOM BOOM!!
Cheering on their country as they play this game today, thats here to stay

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 A month later, the day is gone
Everyone goes home bcause the DAY is done
What day is this that has the world at peace?
“Only four more years to go” says a fan in ease

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Four years later the day has come!
What day could this be?
Just wait and you’ll see
This wonderful day that brings love and peace
