High Hopes
Sara’s a striker
Megyn’s midfield
Diti’s a dream on defense
Gloria’s great
When she’s guarding the goal
(Some say she’s got a sixth sense)
Heather hits headers
Priya can pass
Our lineup is deep as a trench
Me, I just hope
I’ll get into the game
Right now I’m warming the bench
Megyn’s midfield
Diti’s a dream on defense
Gloria’s great
When she’s guarding the goal
(Some say she’s got a sixth sense)
Heather hits headers
Priya can pass
Our lineup is deep as a trench
Me, I just hope
I’ll get into the game
Right now I’m warming the bench
