A Pride Of Lionesses
The European champions
Hold the world in their hands
Bring it home
Bring it home
Comes the chant from the stands
The breath of England
Heaves shallow in wait
But, these Lionesses
Are the key to our fate
They have passion & strength
And a will to achieve
Each heart & each soul
Worn firmly on sleeve
For 57 years
We've huffed & we've puffed
Both boys & the girls
Not quite having enough
But, these girls… these girls -
These Lionesses!
Are not encumbered by a past
That still seeks to suppress us
La Roja will fight
But, these girls can roar
Dust themselves down
Pick themselves off the floor
Find that killer pass
Find the will, find the way
Find the goal & the glory
To make it their day
Immortality waits
For Wiegman's team
Already an inspiration
To follow your dreams
Be it men, or women
To be at the top of your game
Generation to come
Will emulate in your name
So, come on Lionesses!
One final ROAR!
Sweet Caroline awaits
For English voices to soar!
Write your names, not in sand
But, in eternal stone
And find your rightful place
Upon the world's footballing throne!
Ha'way the lasses!
