ou know they didn't see us coming
But we can make it alone
My heartbeat is drumming
But my head's in the zone
Now hearts may be broken
And tears they may fall
But after decades of hoping
You know it's nice to be here at all
They didn't see us coming
But we can make it alone
Let's just boogie
Until we have to go home
Now we have a story
Of snatching defeat
From the jaws of glory
But that's no way to get beat
Now we're not deluded
Our chances aren't great
But it's so nice to be included
Arriving fashionably late
They didn't see us coming
But we can make it alone
So let's just boogie
Until we have to go home

'LEAP Sports is Scotland’s LGBTIQ+ sports charity committed to breaking down the structural, social and individual barriers which prevent lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) people across the country from accessing, participating and excelling in Scottish sports.
