Leadership And Pride

They called me leader
A warrior
Coz I’d leave it on the line
And know when I’d call time
On the war
When it’s girl against girl
But you don’t know what for
When that chick in the blue shirt
Punched me three times and, man, it hurt
But I got a free
And afterward she said sorry to me
I was a defender
No.5 and the boy I remember
When we lifted the cup in ‘07
We dedicated it to someone in Heaven
And I leaned on her shoulder
Because the boulder
Of death was heavy
Is anyone ever ready
To say goodbye
So we’re out on the pitch and we’re willing to die
For that ball
I go up against her like a brick wall
And get knocked to the ground
There was a moment there was no sound
But I got back up
And for the love
Of the team I tried
But my race was run that day, I’m fried
There’s a point in the game
So I scream from the sideline
Call each one by their name
We’re not good enough to lace their boots
It’s rough but the insult has no roots
Coz there’s no passion like Kilglass on the green
We kick the final point, it’s a dream
And our parents storm the field
The victory goes to the one who will yield
And you’re down by nine points in the final
But it’s as classic as any vinyl
When you claw your way back
Get off the back foot and on the attack
With whiplash I watch, that year against Clann
And I’d fight any man
But I don’t think I can
Win this one for us
So I must trust
In the team
I open my eyes and wake the dream
