The pitch so green

Expecting and clean

If only you knew

The wars it had seen

 

Heroes and villains

Jesters and kings

Death and betrayal

Of dreams so frail 

 

Hunting the treble

Striving to revel

Flowing with the current

While slaying the giant

 

Believing the impossible

While discarding the implausible

Hoping, knowing and sewing

The seeds for exasperation

 

Feet fly as hope soars while

Heads collide as crowds roar

Holding fast

As tsunamis attack 

 

Any level, any ground

Any league, all around 

It's more than a game
