[Intro — distant stadium crowd] Oh—oh—oh—oh! Oh—oh—oh—oh! [Drums slowly enter] One world! One ball! [A-bao] Wait for me! [Verse 1] From every street, from every town, we hear the roar, we feel the sound. Different colors, different names, tonight we’re running for the same game. Little A-bao takes the field, red hat on and nerves concealed. Ball rolls by— A-bao turns: Hey! That one’s mine! [Pre-Chorus] Left! Right! Find your way! Pass it back— We’re here to play! One heartbeat, one great sound— Feel the whole world shaking the ground! [CHORUS — STADIUM CHANT] ONE WORLD! ONE BALL! ONE DREAM! WE PLAY! Side by side, from miles away. ONE WORLD! ONE BALL! Hear us call— Tonight there’s room for us all! Oh—oh—oh—oh! Oh—oh—oh—oh! A-bao! GO! GO! GO! [Instrumental Football Break] Hey! Hey! Clap! Clap! Hey! Hey! Clap! Clap! [Verse 2] Pass to me, I’ll pass to you. Miss the shot? We try it new. Fall down hard? Get up again. Today your rival— tomorrow your friend. A-bao running down the line, tiny legs are working overtime. Looks at goal— looks at ball— looks at goal again… [A-bao] That’s REALLY far. [Beat stops] Okay. Let’s go. [BUILD] Run! Pass! Turn! Go! Feel that stadium start to glow. Faster! Closer! One more try! Lift your head— and aim it high! [Crowd builds] A-BAO! A-BAO! A-BAO! *[A-bao] I’m going! [GOAL MOMENT] Three… Two… One… KICK! [Brief silence] GOOOOOOAL! [Huge stadium release] [FINAL CHORUS] ONE WORLD! ONE BALL! ONE DREAM! WE PLAY! Raise your hands, it’s our day! ONE WORLD! ONE BALL! Hear us call— The beautiful game belongs to all! Oh—oh—oh—oh! Oh—oh—oh—oh! Sing it loud from wall to wall! ONE WORLD! ONE HEART! ONE BALL! [Outro — crowd continues singing] Oh—oh—oh—oh… Oh—oh—oh—oh… [A-bao, out of breath] Again? [Crowd] AGAIN! [A-bao] Oh boy.
