RUN like you're born to FLY
Live LIKE you'll never die
Dare what you dare to dream
And everything in BETWEEN

We are drawn by the rhythms
That beat through our HEARTS
When we all COME together
We're seven billion stars

The WORLD is ours
Ooo oh oo o ooh o o o oo
Seven billion STARS
Ooo oh oo o ooh o o o oo
The world the world the world
The world is ours

Light up the world
Light up the world

Sign out your battle cry
Under the STADIUM sky
Oceans and land divide
United we FEEL inside
You CAN stand on my shoulders
And raise up your arms
When we all come TOGETHER
We light up the dark

The world is ours
Ooo oh oo o ooh o o o oo
Seven billion stars
Ooo oh oo o ooh o o o oo
The world the world the world
The world is ours

Light up the world EVERYBODY
Light up the world todo mundo
Light up the world everybody
Pra batucar, pra batucar

The world is ours
Ooo oh oo o ooh o o o oo
Seven BILLION stars
Ooo oh oo o ooh o o o oo
The world the world the world
The world is ours

The History of the FIFA World Cup™
(From: http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/history/fifa-world-cup/)
A group of visionary French football administrators,
led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are
credited with the original idea of bringing the
world's strongest national football teams together
to compete for the title of World Champions. The
original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's name and
was contested three times in the 1930s, before the
Second World War put a 12-year stop to the
competition.
When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the
greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and
the Americas, the World Cup broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in
May 1996 to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition.
Since 1930, the 16 tournaments have seen only seven different winners. However, the FIFA
World Cup has also been punctuated by dramatic upsets that have helped create
footballing history - the United States defeating England in 1950, North Korea's defeat of Italy
in 1966, Cameroon's emergence in the 1980s and their opening match defeat of the
Argentinean cup-holders in 1990....
Today, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated
audience of over 37 billion people watched the France 98 tournament, including
approximately 1.3 billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the
64 matches in the French stadia.
After all these years and so many changes, however, the main focus of the FIFA World Cup
remains the same - the glistening golden trophy, which is the embodiment of every
footballer's ambition.
