Lyrics

From the corners of the world they come
The bravest and the best
To write their names in history
To face the final test
And they gather as they've always done
With one purpose and one aim
To give their souls and bodies 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
Only 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
Woo
And the truth of what you stand for
Will endure when we are gone
Just as long as people dare to dream
Olympia, Olympia, Olympia
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 io 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 burning)
Olympia, Olympia, Olympia
(Celebrate our brotherhood)
Olympia, Olympia, Olympia
(We gotta stick together in the spirit of love)
Olympia, Olympia, Olympia
(Olympia, Olympia)
Olympia, Olympia, Olympia
(Olympia, keep it burning)
Olympia, Olympia, Olympia
(Keep it burning, keep it burning, stay together)
