Olympia
Sergio Mendes

From the corners of the world they come

The bravest and the best

To write their names in history

And to face the final test

And they gather as they've always done

With one purpose and one name

To give the souls and lives to

The challenge of the game


Olympia, Olympia

Light the flame and let it burn

Olympia, Olympia

You will teach and we will learn

We will learn in your name

We have come to honor courage

More than glory, more than fame

We will learn if we can

The triumph of the spirit

Is the victory of man


They have traveled lonely roads of pain

For the moment yet to be

Knowing in the journey each will find

Their own humanity

And they reach out to each other

To make us all aware

That we celebrate our brotherhood

In the struggles that we share


Olympia, Olympia

Light the flame and let it burn

Olympia, Olympia

You will teach and we will learn

We will learn in your name

We have come to honor courage

More than glory, more than fame

We will learn if we can

The triumph of the spirit

Is the victory of man


And the truth of what you stand for

Will endure when we are gone

Just as long as people dare to be

Olympiad, Olympiad, Olympiad

You live on, you live on


Olympia, Olympia

Light the flame and let it burn

Olympia, Olympia

You will teach and we will learn

We will learn in your name

We have come to honor courage

More than glory, more than fame

We will learn if we can

The triumph of the spirit

Is the victory of man


Olympia

Keep the flame burnin'

Olympia, Olympia

Celebrate our brotherhood

Olympia, Olympia
