Anthem

At the start of the 2024-25 season Canberra United introduced a new anthem for the team, plus a raft of new chants. This was a meticulously planned strategy from a core group of fans who got together pre-season and came up with the anthem and adapted lyrics.

The anthem, which you will hear at all home games as the teams walk onto the ground, is adapted from Rachel Platten’s Fight Song. Here’s Rachel’s song –

Now all you need to do is apply the adapted lyrics. Download them here and have a go:

Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn’t say
Were wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song (hey)
Canberra Unite song (hey)
Prove we’re alright song (hey, ha)
Our power’s turned on (hey)
Starting right now, we’ll be strong (hey)
We’ll play my fight song (hey)
And we don’t really care if nobody else believes (ha)
‘Cause we’ve still got a lot of fight left in green

Losing friends and I’m chasing sleep
Everybody’s worried ’bout me
In too deep, say I’m in too deep (I’m in too deep)
And it’s been two years, I miss my home
But there’s a fire burning in my bones
Still believe, yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream ’em loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

No, we’ve still got a lot of fight left in green
