Lyrics
GOLD
(Words & music by Jonathan Sprout)
Great leaps into history
World Records surpassed
Hearts that never quit
Competing together at last for the Gold
Will power and strength to win
Gathered in one special place
Dreams to last a lifetime
Come alive, as they race for the Gold
The glory of Olympic Gold
A chance for all the world to see
The dream is shared a billion fold
To be the best that you can be... Gold
