Imagine,

Playing in front of 30,000 people

The crowd erupting in roars as I'd stride onto the field  

Running my hand through the soft fresh cut grass as they always trim it before every game

The feeling of weight being lifted off my shoulders as the whistle blows

Imagine

Dribbling the ball feels like gliding on a moving mat at an airport, feeling faster than ever before

I taste the salty bitterness of my sweat on my tongue as I focus on the only thing that matters,

getting that goal

I imagine,

The wing weaving through the defense as they sprint for the corner flag to cross the ball in

I'd dash to the box waiting for the floating ball flying directly to me

With all my power i'd shoot the ball at the white rectangle

Whoosh, Swish, Tweet

Imagine,

The crowd goes wild, their chants echoing in the stadium while calling out my name

Imagine this happening to you, to me

Wouldn't that be amazing?

Being a professional soccer player,

Just imagine...
