"Our Saints, Our City, Our Soul"

Out of the fire
And up from the flood
A great team is born
Made of guts, steel and blood

Their history a low one
No one can deny
Their new rise a slow one
But oh now so high

This team that I speak of
Is of black and gold
And travels the gridiron
So brave and so bold

Their symbol is royalty
We call Fleur de lis
And proud New Orleanians
Watch it with glee

Come Deuce and come Reggie
Come Drew and come Joe
Come Marques and Terrance
Now go beat the foe

The course is set plainly
There is clearly a goal
Go show all the world
A storm can't kill our soul

To the men in black jerseys
The tights and the cleats
Know that we love you
In wins and defeats

And to you, Sean Payton
The coach of our dreams
Thank you from all of us
Who give jumps, yells and screams

You have given us purpose
You have given us hope
You have given us will
And a reason to cope

To all of the Saints
Who reside in the Dome
Thanks for making our city
A proud place to call home

Oh. We get our share of bozos up here trying to write the next "Super Bowl Shuffle" all the time. You can usually see them on the WGN morning news, if you can stomach it. The word "glee" should not be used anywhere around football. Can you imagine Deuce McAllister saying, "Oh, I was just filled with glee when I ran in for a touchdown! It was super-duper special!"

Speaking of the fluer de lis, how tough can a team be that wears a flower on its helmets? Maybe they should change it to a pansy. :)

The fleur de lis is much more than a flower. It is a symbol STEEPED with history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur_de_lis

The fleur-de-lis (or fleur-de-lys; plural: fleurs-de-lis) is a stylised design of an iris flower which is used both decoratively and symbolically. It may be purely ornamental or it may be "at one and the same time political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic and symbolic",[1] especially in heraldry. While it has appeared on countless European coats of arms and flags over the centuries, the fleur-de-lis is particularly associated with the French monarchy. It is an enduring symbol of France, but, being regarded most notably as the emblem of the monarchy, was not adopted officially by any of the French republics. In North America the fleur-de-lis is often linked with old French settlements like Louisiana or Quebec.

It appears on military insignia and the logos of many different organisations, and during the 20th century it was adopted by various Scouting organisations worldwide for their badges. Architects and designers may use it alone or as a repeated motif in a wide range of contexts, from ironwork to bookbinding. As a religious symbol it may represent the Holy Trinity, or be an iconographic attribute of the archangel Gabriel, notably in representations of the Annunciation.[2] It is also associated with the Virgin Mary.

I know. I mean, I don't know all that history. But I do know that it is a very old European emblem. I believe it was also very important to the Florentines in Italy. After tomorrow's game, the more appropriate flower will be a lilies. :)
