Fifty eight years have gone by
since the World Cup of sixty six
Twenty eight have also passed 
since the Euros of ninety six

The last final held at Wembley
ended what began in Rome
Disappointment once again 
when England didn’t bring it home

Now, the date is set for Sunday 
the first final for three years
This time it’s England versus Spain 
will it end in cheers or tears?

St George banners will fly high 
patriotic brass bands will play
In pubs and clubs across the land 
young and old will hope and pray

A buoyant army of fans 
will sing football anthems so loud 
Encouraging this team of stars 
to make Gareth Southgate proud

They will sing songs of three lions
with a hint of vindaloo
Sweet Caroline will sound so good!
they will be whole again too

Could football really be coming home?
this time! can England win?
All will be revealed 
at Olympiastadion, Berlin 

The nation will come together 
to cheer on their football team 
Will all those prayers be answered?
dare we dream to dream the dream?
