GRIDIRON HEROES<br />
Lyrics to the <strong>Detroit</strong> <strong>Lions</strong> Fight Song<br />
(Verse)<br />
Hail the colors Blue and Silver let them wave.<br />
Sing their song and cheer the Gridiron Heroes brave,<br />
Fighting for fame, winning the game,<br />
Dashing to victory as they go.<br />
(Chorus)<br />
Forward down the field,<br />
A charging team that will not yield.<br />
And when the Blue and Silver wave,<br />
Stand and cheer the brave.<br />
Rah, Rah, Rah.<br />
Go hard, win the game.<br />
With honor you will keep your fame.<br />
Down the field and gain,<br />
A Lion victory!<br />
WELCOME TO FORD FIELD!<br />
<strong>Fan</strong>s, thank you for your continued support as we<br />

and we appreciate the dedication you displayed for<br />
our team and our city.<br />
As we strive to continue the momentum created by<br />
