About World At Your Feet

"World at Your Feet" is a song by English rock band Embrace, and is featured on the re-released version of their album This New Day. It was the official song of the England World Cup squad in the 2006 FIFA World Cup campaign, and was released on 5 June 2006 (see 2006 in British music). Singer Danny McNamara told the NME: "We didn't apply to do this. They just asked us. Our manager said, 'Do you want to do the World Cup song? The FA want to know.' I asked my dad and he said, 'if you think you're up to it-do it!' I was just trying to cover all the bases. "It was broadcast on Radio 1 on 21 April by Chris Moyles. A news reporter on BBC One was in a Bristol pub at the time and had several people listen and review the song. The first impressions were that the song is "too slow". This caused Moyles and a good friend of members of the band to shout out on the radio, live, "It's not too slow, it's perfect. Shut up and enjoy it." While it does not have the terrace chant appeal of classic World Cup and European Cup songs such as "Vindaloo" or "Three Lions", many reviews from music critics seem to find favour with it - for instance, Planet Sound gave it an 8/10 mark, calling it "brilliant".

You're the first in my life to make me think
That we might just go all the way
And I want you to know we're all hanging on

They'll come and yes they'll try
To brake us down
But we know that we'll never lose
If we keep moving forward and don't look back

With the world at your feet
There's no one you can't beat
Yes it can be done
With the world at your feet
There's no heart you can't reach
This could be the one
Its calling, Its calling you now
You know its gonna be your time
'Cause the world is at your feet
Yeah, the world is at your feet

Like stars in the sky
Burning bright, seen by a billion eyes
Now, I want you to know we're all turned your way

With the world at your feet
There's no one you can't beat
Yes it can be done
With the world at your feet
There's no heart you can't reach
This could be the one
Its calling, Its calling you now
You know its gonna be your time
'Cause the world is at your feet
Yeah, the world is at...

With the world at your feet
There's no one you can't beat
Yes it can be done
With the world at your feet
There's no heart you can't reach
This could be the one

You're lifted up
With one proud kiss
There's nothing else
That feels like this
So lift your arms
And everyone sing

With the world at your feet
There's no one you can't beat
Yes it can be done
With the world at your feet
There's no heart you can't reach
This could be the one
Its calling, Its calling you now
You know its gonna be your time
'Cause the world is at your feet
Yeah, the world is at your feet
