Midas, Number Eight

가사

[Verse 1] Midas wore the number eight A stitched-up promise on his back Every pass arrived with purpose Every run split open the attack From the first whistle to the final He made the whole stadium rise With a captain’s calm inside him And a fire nobody could disguise [Pre-Chorus] One touch, two steps, the whole world knew The match would turn when he came through [Chorus] Midas, number eight Carried every country’s weight World Cup after World Cup He was there to lift it up Midas, number eight Made the impossible look plain One of the best to ever play And he won them all along the way [Verse 2] In the quarterfinal rainstorm He found a lane no one could see Slid the ball beneath the keeper Then pointed to his family In the final, late and level With the clock down to a thread He sent a measured ball across And watched the winning header bend [Pre-Chorus] One touch, two steps, the whole world knew The match would turn when he came through [Chorus] Midas, number eight Carried every country’s weight World Cup after World Cup He was there to lift it up Midas, number eight Made the impossible look plain One of the best to ever play And he won them all along the way [Bridge] Years will fade from every scoreboard Names will blur beneath the dust But eight will live in every kid Who learns that skill is built on trust A simple shirt, a fearless heart A pass that changed the game Midas left the grass a legend And the number stayed the same [Final Chorus] Midas, number eight Carried every country’s weight World Cup after World Cup He was there to lift it up Midas, number eight Hear the whole arena say: One of the best to ever play And he won them all along the way [Outro] Number eight, number eight Midas made the moment wait Number eight, number eight A champion in every game
