Three Lions Rising
by Ash
Lyrics
Verse 1
From the park to the pitch
Every kid’s got a name on their back
Dreaming headers like Shearer
Last‑minute winners like Kane in the glare of the glare
We remember that roar in ’66
Every clip
Every kick
’90 tears on the turf
Oh we felt that too
But we’re still singing for you
Pre-Chorus
From Gazza’s tears to Saka’s run
From Lineker’s grin to a new day’s sun
We’ve carried the weight
Now we carry the flame
Every chapter’s calling your name
Chorus
Three Lions rising
This is our time
Red and white hearts on the same front line
From old ghosts fading to a brand new sky
We’ve been waiting
Waiting
Now we’re ready to fly
Oh
England
England
Stand up and sing
This is the year we let our dream take wing
Verse 2
Beckham’s curl in the air
That revenge in the dead of the night
Rooney wild in the box
Sterling streaking through fear
Turning doubt into cheers
We’ve seen penalties fall
Seen the crossbar deny us again
But Pickford hands in the storm
Showed the tide can be turned
That the hurt can transform
Pre-Chorus
From Bobby’s lift to Bukayo’s smile
From Terry’s blocks to Stones’ new style
We carry the past
But we’re chasing the day
Every setback clearing the way
Chorus
Three Lions rising
This is our time
Red and white hearts on the same front line
From old ghosts fading to a brand new sky
We’ve been waiting
Waiting
Now we’re ready to fly
Oh
England
England
Stand up and sing
This is the year we let our dream take wing
Bridge
From the pubs to the parks
Every voice
Every age
Every chant
Under lights far away
We still feel like we’re standing in the stands (oh yeah)
’Cause every Rashford run
Every Bellingham break
Every tackle from Rice is a promise we make
Chorus
Three Lions rising
This is our time
Red and white hearts on the same front line
From old ghosts fading to a brand new sky
We’ve been waiting
Waiting
Now we’re ready to fly
Oh
England
England
Stand up and sing
This is the year we let our dream take wing
Chorus
Three Lions rising
Sing it again
Hand in hand
Crowd and the eleven men
From every heartbreak to this bright new night
We’ve been waiting
Waiting
Now we’re ready to fight
Oh
England
England
Let the whole world see
Three Lions rising
Writing new history
