We Are One - The Official 2014 FIFA World Cup Song

Put your flags up in the sky (put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)

Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la

When the moment gets tough
You’ve got keep going
One love, one life, one world
One fight, whole world, one night, one place
Brazil, everybody put your flags in the sky and do what you feel

It’s your world, my world, our world today
And we invite the whole world, whole world to play

It’s your world, my world, our world today
And we invite the whole world, whole world to play

Es mi mundo, tu mundo, el mundo de nosotros
Invitamos a todo el mundo a jugar con nosotros

Put your flags up in the sky
(Put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)
Put your flags up in the sky (Put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)

Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la

Put your flags up in the sky (put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)

Put your flags up in the sky (put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)

Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)

Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la

Look Who IS Coming To Town

Marc McBride

Illustrator

Marc McBride has illustrated over fifty book covers and countless magazines, as well as producing artwork for advertising campaigns. He has a solid design background in both advertising and film, and won the West Australian Film and Television Award for Best Art Director. Marc has had work exhibited with the New York Society of Illustrators. Marc's influences for all his work range from tacky B-grade movies about giant ants from outer space through to the pop artists of the sixties such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and other illustrators such as H R Giger, who created the Alien and the set design for the movie Alien. Marc's soaring imagination has never been more evident than in the mind-blowing fantasy jacket art he has created for the Deltora Quest series. Marc says, ‘The medium I used for the series was acrylic paint and inks. Using an airbrush and paint brushes I created the series in quite a traditional way—that is, not digital. I feel that this more organic painting works for me in the creation of people, monsters etc. If I had been asked to create spaceships or futuristic cities perhaps I would have used a computer. Each cover took between three and five days to complete, but, like all illustrators, I always feel I would have liked to spend more time on each painting. Practical reasons, such as deadlines, other jobs, eating and sleeping, make this impossible. Nature has pattern in even the strangest of creatures and I wanted to have this in the Deltora Quest monsters, to give them some sense of reality.’

K’naan- Wavin Flag (South Africa 2010 Theme)

Ooooooh Wooooooh,
Ooooooh Wooooooh
Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition,

Celebration, it surrounds us, every nation, all around us

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun
Let’s rejoice in the beautiful game,
And together at the end of the day.
We all say
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....

Oooooooooooooooooooh Woooooooooohhhohohoh
Oooooooooooooooooooh Woooooooooohhhohohoh
Give you freedom, give you fire, give you reason, take you higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition,
Celebration, it surround us, every nation, all around us
Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun
Let’s rejoice in the beautiful game,
And together at the end of the day.
We all say
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....

Oooooooooooooooooooh Woooooooooohhhohohoh

They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back

Oooooh woowoo ooh Wooo ooohh ooohoh
And everybody will be singing it
Oooooh woowoo ooh Wooo ooohh ooohoh
And we all will be singing it.
