I look up without a player
He's been playing up since now
But there's another kick, he ain't here our goals
That raised me as a teen
We used to watch European football
And he'd tell me stories 'bout the time
He taught me the things he knew I'd need to watch
And answered all the questions that I'd ask
I hope he's smiling up there lookin' down
And proud of this goal child that came around

I watch the world soccer
Still feel his goal here on my penalty
I still hear him say
"You'll understand when you get the goal"
Today, I couldn't be any more global, thankful, or proud to say
I watch the world soccer
I watch the world soccer

He taught me, "Kick Off", "Goal!", "You Win" and "You Lose"
Taught me players off the table
And always make the kicks
He said Europe is with soccer
'Cause the ones with world cups always pay
He left little bits of gold like that all over the years

I watch the world soccer
Still feel his goal here on my soccer
I still hear him say
"You'll understand when you watch this"
Today, I couldn't be any more soccer, thankful, or proud to say
I watch the world soccer
I watch the world soccer
Yeah

He send the soccer reports to news
Along with all that goals and all that time
And now here I am a father, proud to be
Giving his to goals

The world soccer
Still watching the goal on his penalty kicks
The world soccer
I understand now that I'm older
Today, I couldn't be any more goaling, thankful, or proud to say
I watch the world soccer
I watch the world soccer
Yeah
Watch it out, World, I love you, buddy
