Lyric

Hey, do you know?

They’re training till their hands bleed

Just to bring you down

Just to chase the dream

Hey, do you know?

You became the one they chase

The target on their backs

The fire they can’t erase

When you first arrived

Nobody knew your name

“An outsider,” they said

“You’ll be gone before the game”

But you never fought their words

Never answered back

You just kept doing what you came to do

And stayed right on your track

Then they finally saw you

And the whole world changed

Once you found your rhythm

No one could stop the flame

Number seventeen!

We’re watching you fly!

You turned every doubt

Into stars in the sky

From the stands to the field

From your friends to your foes

Everybody loves you

Everybody knows

Number seventeen!

Keep lighting the fire!

You give us a dream

You take us higher

No matter the pressure

No matter the pain

Thank you, Number Seventeen!

We’ll cheer your name again!

They threw you their jealousy

They threw you their shade

But you kept moving forward

Like you never heard a thing

And somewhere along the way

Something beautiful began

The crowd became believers

Your teammates became your fans

Even those who face you

Can’t help but smile

They came to beat you

But they stayed for a while

'Cause there’s something in the way you play

Something bigger than the game

You make people dream again

Every time they hear your name

How much weight are you carrying?

Only you could know

But you never let the pressure

Steal the light you show

You respect every person

Standing by your side

You give a little strength to everyone

With nothing left to hide

Number seventeen!

We’re watching you fly!

You turned every doubt

Into stars in the sky

From the stands to the field

From your friends to your foes

Everybody loves you

Everybody knows

Number seventeen!

Keep lighting the fire!

You give us a dream

You take us higher

No matter the pressure

No matter the pain

Thank you, Number Seventeen!

We’ll cheer your name again!

Yeah, we know you’ve made a fortune

Yeah, we know how far you’ve climbed

But we also see the helping hands

You give to those left behind

Sick kids fighting battles

Families losing everything

When disaster takes their world away

You give them hope again

No crown upon your head

No pride inside your eyes

You never stand above us

You just stand by our side

You could live above the clouds

But you still call out our names

You see us in the distance

And somehow make us feel the same

Hey!

Can you hear us now?

Hey!

The whole world’s singing loud!

You’re more than a player

More than a number

More than the records

More than the thunder

You make us believe

You make us dream

You make us remember

How beautiful life can be!

NUMBER SEVENTEEN!

WE’LL NEVER LOOK AWAY!

Every time you step out there

You brighten up the day

NUMBER SEVENTEEN!

YOU’RE THE FIRE IN OUR SOUL!

You make a million hearts beat

You make broken dreams feel whole

From the people in the stands

To the ones across the sea

From your teammates to your rivals

You’ve become our family

Number seventeen!

Keep running, keep flying!

We’ll be right here

Every time you’re trying

Through the wins and the losses

Through the sunshine and rain

Thank you, Number Seventeen!

We’ll keep cheering your name!

Hey, do you know?

We’re all chasing you now

Not just to beat you—

But to become better somehow

So keep doing what you do

Keep giving us your light

Number seventeen…

We’ll be watching every night

Thank you

And let us cheer for you

For a long, long time
