we are relentless
a sea of endless blue and silver
loud and proud
the roar heard around the world
home in the dome
a twelfth man a million strong 

we’ve been beat and battered and bruised 
but never broken 
we always believe  

we are eternal optimists
we’ve had to be
we’ve seen flashes of brilliance in the long dark night
Layne and Lane
Barney and Baker and Blades
Sims and Spielman and Sanders
Morton and Moore
but even our shining stars could not end the drought  

it was only once we hit bottom that we could begin our ascent  

and so we rise
we’ve gone from “Fire Millen” to fired up
from heartbreak to hopeful  
from cinch to clinch
Suh and Stafford and Megatron
and a new pride of Lions that don’t know how to quit
even when zebras steal our touchdowns and catches and gains
we’ve never given up
we’ve fought back from impossible deficits
and we’ve made flags rain down like a ticker tape parade
but still, we march
forward, down the field  

we are relentless
and this is our time.  

We love football.
We love Detroit.
We love our Lions.
