When Sir Bienville found the spot to start a colony
He impaled a flag at the crescent bend on the Mississippi
And what were the words Bienville wrote informing the Company?
The very same Sean Payton said to a kicker named Garrett Hartley.
Look for the Fleur de Lis! Look for the Fleur de Lis!
That sign is our goal, the sign of our soul
Look for the Fleur de Lis!
Once you've been to New Orleans, you know it’s worth fighting for
Such joy you'll feel to be alive -- your heart cries out for more
We wear our hearts upon our sleeves for all the world to see
Sewn on our flags, tattooed on our flesh, the mighty fleur de lis
Look for the Fleur de Lis! Look for the Fleur de Lis!
That sign is our goal, the sign of our soul
Look for the Fleur de Lis!
Many trials have shaken this land – fires and plagues and war
and long she's suffered the struggles of man, the wealthy and the poor
But the darkest days she ever saw, broke the hearts of men
The hurricane that came and nearly brought with her the end....
Look for the Fleur de Lis! Look for the Fleur de Lis!
That sign is our goal, the sign of our soul
Look for the Fleur de Lis!
Against the odds and all advice we started to rebuild
Our grief, our pride, our passion played upon the football field
We dug in our heels, we flew our flags, we wore the black and gold
In Brees, in Bush, in Deuce we trust to lead us to our goal
Look for the Fleur de Lis! Look for the Fleur de Lis!
That sign is our goal, the sign of our soul
Look for the Fleur de Lis!
That moment that the kick sailed through we shared the Victory
God has blessed our city and now the world shall see!
Clad together in black and gold we all know what it means
to rally around Our faith, Our flag, Our Saints, Our New Orleans
Look for the Fleur de Lis! Look for the Fleur de Lis!
That sign is our goal, the sign of our soul
Look for the Fleur de Lis!
What were the words Bienville wrote informing the Company?
The very same Sean Payton said, to a kicker named Garrett Hartley.
Tales will be told of a city so fair it's called the land of dreams
And how her people united in the fight for New Orleans!
