Sapphire Souls, Golden Dreams....World Cup Time
Sapphire Souls, Golden Dreams
Flags held high
Exuberance unfurling through the sky
Faces painted with stripes of saffron, white with a blue chakra and green
on the side
Heads held up high with pride
And a spark in their eyes
As the blue jersey wearers in themselves confide
that lits up the eyeballs as the power flies to all and supplies
Glued to their TV sets day and night
The young and the old with delight
As the blue jersey wearers fight like a knight
With all their might
As the hope ignites and shines too bright
Hoping for India to take another flight and reach new heights
What a sight for all tonight!
Stadium run out of tickets
Eyes glued on to sixes, fours and wickets
And as the umpire will raise the finger
The crowd will proclaim their ecstasy
To view another wicket taken by our cricket team
The arena will echo with shouts and screams
The 13th cup edition
And our team’s ambition
A dream envisioned by all
To grab and lift high the cup of hard work, persistence and love
For the nation and the bat and ball
A feeling of pride proliferates amongst all
To perceive our nation stand high and tall in the hall
Easy as pie for us to hope and wish for the best
For the team who shed blood, sweat and tears
Its like walking on thin ice to embrace the cup of their dreams
O Indians, express your love for your nation
And cheer up the nation’s foundation
Come on lets pray for the best
God will decide the rest
It’s time for the World Cup
A time of true test
