Lyrics

​⚽ The Unity Anthem (2026) 🏟️
​Music Style: Driving Afrobeat/Latin Rhythm with Stadium EDM Chorus
​INTRO (0:00 - 0:45)
​(Heavy, syncopated kick drum and infectious synth riff begin. Crowd noise fades in.)
​Voice:
(Whispered, building intensity)
2026... The greatest show begins now...
We are one world, one voice, one ball...
Feel the beat!
​(Beat drops hard)
Hey! Hey! Olé!
Hey! Hey! Olé!
​VERSE 1: The Call-Up (0:45 - 1:30)
​Look up, the calendar flips, we've counted the hours,
From every city, every beach, and every tower.
48 nations in the biggest, loudest show,
From Casablanca to Seoul, the energy starts to grow.
​They said it's impossible, they said it's too far,
But the dream is in the passport, shining like a star.
We heard Ricky Martin, we felt Shakira's sound,
Now we take that fire, and we light it up again on new ground!
​Ready for the flight, under the Friday night lights,
New York City dreams, and Canadian Northern sights.
​PRE-CHORUS (1:30 - 1:45)
​(Music swells, focusing on the bass and rhythm section)
​We’re coming home, coming home! Where the turf is green!
The greatest global party the world has ever seen!
¡Viva México! The Aztec roar, the historic ground,
The beautiful game is here, hear the rising sound!
​CHORUS (1:45 - 2:30)
​(Music explodes into a massive, repetitive anthem with horns/synthesizers)
​2026! North America, the stage is set!
One World, One Ball, we haven't lost a step!
Hear the whistle blow, watch the flag unfurl,
This is the beat of the beautiful game, for the whole wide world!
(Olé, Olé, Olé!)
​2026! North America, the stage is set!
One World, One Ball, we haven't lost a step!
Hear the whistle blow, watch the flag unfurl,
This is the beat of the beautiful game, for the whole wide world!
(Olé, Olé, Olé!)
​VERSE 2: The Action (2:30 - 3:15)
​From the bench to the pitch, you feel the heat of the grass,
One moment of magic, for the history to pass.
See the keeper fly, the striker makes his run,
A lifetime of practice, until the moment's won.
​We don't care about the jersey, we don't care about the score,
When that ball hits the net, we all rise to the roar.
Every tackle, every pass, every single drop of sweat,
That's the rhythm of the people, the best we're gonna get!
​No time for the drama, no time for the hate,
Just pure, unified passion, sealed by destiny and fate.
​PRE-CHORUS (3:15 - 3:30)
​(Music swells again)
​This is the heart of the world, beating fast and beating loud,
Underneath the stadium lights, lost inside the crowd.
We’re coming home, coming home! Where the turf is green!
The greatest global party the world has ever seen!
​CHORUS (3:30 - 4:15)
​(Repeat x4)
​2026! North America, the stage is set!
One World, One Ball, we haven't lost a step!
Hear the whistle blow, watch the flag unfurl,
This is the beat of the beautiful game, for the whole wide world!
(Olé, Olé, Olé!)
​BRIDGE / BREAKDOWN (4:15 - 8:00)
​(The long, dance-focused section necessary for the 10-minute length)
​A. Slow Down/Spoken Word (4:15 - 4:45)
(Music strips to just a slow, deep bass line and hand claps)
They call it football... they call it fútbol... they call it soccer.
But the sound of the crowd... that's the same language everywhere.
(Pause)
We carry the colors of the flag, we carry the weight of the past.
The ball is the messenger. The goal is the promise.
​B. Instrumental Build (4:45 - 5:15)
(Music builds back up, introducing a hypnotic synth melody.)
Chant Riff begins.
​C. Dance & Crowd Chant (5:15 - 8:00)
(Tempo hits maximum speed. This is the extended, repetitive dance break.)
​CALL: Everybody chant! (Response: CHANT!)
CALL: Feel the beat! (Response: THE BEAT!)
​CALL & RESPONSE RHYTHM (Repeat x8):
UNITY! (UNITY!) GLOBAL! (GLOBAL!)
2026! (2026!) NORTH AMERICA! (AMERICA!)
​HOST NATION RHYTHM (Repeat x12):
USA! (OOH-A-OOH-A!)
CANADA! (OOH-A-OOH-A!)
MEXICO! (OOH-A-OOH-A!)
​(Instrumental Breakdown continues for 90 seconds, followed by a final, massive drum fill leading back to the chorus.)
​FINAL CHORUS (8:00 - 9:30)
​(Music returns at maximum volume, repeat x6 with increasing intensity)
​2026! North America, the stage is set!
One World, One Ball, we haven't lost a step!
Hear the whistle blow, watch the flag unfurl,
This is the beat of the beautiful game, for the whole wide world!
(Olé, Olé, Olé!)
​OUTRO (9:30 - 10:00)
​(Final massive chord hit, followed by the synth loop fading out slowly)
​One World... One Ball...
2026... We are here.
(Final kick drum echo and roar of the crowd)
