From the corners of the world they come

The bravest and the best

To write the names that used to be

To face the final test



And they gather as they''ve always done

With a purpose and a name

To give the souls and lives to

The challenge of the game



[CHORUS]

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

For the glory of the flame

We will learn

If we can

The triumph of the spirit

Is the victory of man



(END CHORUS)



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 troubles that we share



[BRIDGE]



And the truth of what you stand for

Will endure when we are gone

Just as long we will dare to be

Whoever we are, whatever we are

Oh, you''ll live on, you''ll live on!



[repeat CHORUS]



Olympia! Olympia!

Celebrate our brotherhood

Olympia!
