[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
The world is here tonight
[Verse 1]
From the streets of every city
To the deserts and the snow
Every dream that's ever started
Has a place tonight to grow
Hear the drums across the oceans
Hear the songs across the land
Millions standing side by side now
One heartbeat, one command
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise your colours to the sky
Let the whole world testify
Every journey, every mile
Has led us here tonight
[Chorus]
We are rising, we are stronger
Every generation standing tall
When the world comes together
We can hear the beautiful call
Wave your flag
Lift it higher
Let it fly above it all
Forty-eight nations
One celebration
One beautiful game for all
[Verse 2 – The Americas]
Canada, Mexico, USA
Welcoming the world today
Argentina, Brazil arrive
Keeping football dreams alive
Uruguay and Paraguay
Ecuador lighting up the way
Colombia, Panama too
Haiti and Curaçao breaking through
[Verse 3 – Asia & Oceania]
Australia crossing seas of blue
New Zealand marching through
Japan and Korea Republic stand
Saudi Arabia joins the band
Qatar, Jordan, Iraq, Iran
Every fan becomes one clan
Uzbekistan's moment has come
Hear the beating of the drum
[Chorus]
We are rising, we are stronger
Every generation standing tall
When the world comes together
We can hear the beautiful call
[Verse 4 – Africa]
Morocco, Senegal in flight
Ghana shining through the night
Egypt answering destiny
Algeria bringing history
Tunisia, Côte d'Ivoire
South Africa wanting more
Congo DR, Cabo Verde
Every nation can be heard
[Verse 5 – Europe]
England, Scotland side by side
Spain and France with pride
Germany and Portugal
Ready for another call
Netherlands and Belgium too
Switzerland breaking through
Croatia, Austria, Norway strong
Sweden joins the mighty song
Türkiye, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Czechia chasing their dream arena
Across the continent voices ring
Hear a billion people sing
[Bridge]
From Vancouver to Toronto
From Guadalajara's glow
From Monterrey to Kansas City
To New York where dreamers go
Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles
Seattle, Miami nights
Philadelphia, Boston calling
Every stadium burning bright
Hear the crowd now
Hear the roar now
Hear the future calling near
Every child with a football
Sees their dream appear
[Crowd Chant]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
One world!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
One game!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
One dream!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
One name!
[Final Chorus]
We are rising, we are stronger
Every generation standing tall
Forty-eight nations
One celebration
Answering the beautiful call
Wave your flag
Lift it higher
Let it reach the stars above
Every border
Every culture
Joined together here in love
