1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 times you’re there at midnight
watching like a child
times you battle holding on    
times you just go wild
times of moments times of touches
times on crazy nights
find you grateful just to witness 
times like this in life 

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 for a second I’m transported
86 in Mexico
Hand of God and Maradona
as the match swings to and fro
Bellingham and Kane the diff’rence
Saka from the wing
attitude v altitude
prove the sweetest thing   

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Gordon’s probing Jude’s persistence
Declan Rice’s breaking runs
welcome subs in Spence and Stones
help us get it done
rising like some glowing phoenix 
wave on wave of deaf’ning sound
Pickford’s punches blocks from Burn 
turn the tide and match around

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 raucous fans relentless pressure 
England’s stubborn wonderwall 
standing strong in the Azteca
somehow through it  all 

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 times of moments times of touches
times on crazy nights
find you grateful just to witness 
times like this in life
