Stepping on  the field

This belongs to me

It is where

I am in control.

Long before I came here

I have prepared for this day

I reach down

Pluck the grass from the Earth

Feel the energy of the moment.

Nothing else matters right now

It's only about this,

This is the beginning

The beginning of something great.

Walk to the center line

Turn and view the pitch. 

The others who stand with me

In  this battle

Prepared for what is to come.

I see the same in them

As I feel

No one else understands

They cannot share this.

This is our fight.

It is our moment,

It is what we know

What we live for.

The whistle sounds

Ball advances

It has begun

The Beautiful Game.
