There is no god but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAW) is His messenger. Fear and Worship only Allah alone!

On our flights, we heed home to the USA
Home to the land of freedom
Where Obama reigns with democracy
With strides of pride of our achievements
Basketball, soccer, democracy and the long list
We’ve come home to the USA
With our strides of achievements
Putting the USA soccer team on the global map
Down there in Johannesburg –Mandela’s home
Our soccer boots all filled with dust
Our body pores sweating heavily
Our muscles lengthen in all directions
Our eyes flashing lightening rays to dream skies
Our ears echoing defeat and loss
Our hearts in thunder moods but all lovely
Uproars of a defeat aloud like thunders
Moments of uncontrollable emotional feelings
Tears on cheeks, down memory lanes
As we exited the soccer field with pride
Our hearts whooped asunder
The thoughts of that glittering cup
Coming home to the USA
Was once again un-hatched another moment
As we live in our strides
We dream to bring the cup to the USA one day.
