It's been four years and worldwide soccer fever is back in full swing. The one sport that can truly claim to unite nations, what better symbol to represent our view of the world than the soccer ball itself? Small and round, it shapes us from the time we're able to totter over and kick it across the grass.

In a tribute to the sport's incredible effect on the world, Samsung is rolling out a new campaign focused on childhood and the dreams that shape us as we grow. The video above is the hallmark: a montage of the soccer ball as a child's best friend, through the eyes of the ball itself. Providing the soundtrack is a Samsung-commissioned song, 'I See Your Dreams', by the South African-based Drakensburg Boys Choir, reaching out to youth everywhere with its poignant message about childhood, soccer, and growing up itself.

You'll see kids from all over the world toting their tattered ball to the field, drawing formations in the sand with a toe, blowing out birthday candles, laughing with friends after school, and going about their lives as their best friend watches over from its nearby spot in the room. It's a great message, one that takes us back to childhood and reminds us of the beauty of not knowing what the future holds. The tagline is right: it's not about where football takes them, it's about what football lets them dream. Watch the touching video below.
