Glory on the Pitch

By: Gus Victoria

Glory on the pitch,

The sport of empire

Stands now proudly

The sport of the world,

The ball is round

The dreams are vast

That move boss,

Inspire the worker,

And know no class.

Flags and crests,

Hearts in swollen chests

Beat with the rhythm of struggle,

With the hope of victory.

Between two poles

The net stands ready

To receive that mark of honor,

That goal,

The glory on the pitch.
