England's Lions Roar
I thought football was rather overrated
Its players spoilt and highly overpaid
Then I watched the game last night
As an entire country held on tight
It was going to be a rather bumpy ride
Game on and nowhere left to hide
My heart and soul were in my mouth
Blood pressure going through the roof
Heartache and despair in the minute of 94
As Columbia strike and level the score
England has to dig deep once more
Extra time would sort out the boys from the men
Penalty shootout here we go again
The rising tension is absolutely extreme
Kane steps up and neatly puts one away
Henderson’s effort is saved what can I say
Columbia wobble and miss two in a row
Hurrah for Jordan Pickford way to go
Dier settles it with nerves of steel
England are through how does it feel
The quarter finals now beckon
Have England got a chance?
What do you reckon?
Is the nation ready for more?
Do you have faith - do you believe?
Listen to England’s lions roar
