Lyrics
All the way from Mount Olympus, here they come
The athletes, the torch and the flame
Bringing sacred fire, good will, courage and desire
To the heart of the World Olympic Games
Swifter, higher, longer
The skillful and the stronger
Performing for the five great lengths of chain
And in revel tones
Wearing medals, going home
Our champions of the World Olympic Games
How to play the best and to outplay all the rest
For the eyes of the world to behold
National hearts reel, cheering heroes on the field
Competing for the silver, bronze and gold
Swifter, higher, longer
The skillful and the stronger
Performing for the five great lengths of chain
And in revel tones
Wearing medals, going home
Champions of the World Olympic Games
From Vancouver town to Whistler Mountain they'll be found
Our champions and the medals they will claim
When each hero dons their silver, gold and bronze
Our history shall record their famous names
Swifter, higher, longer
The skillful and the stronger
Performing for the five great lengths of chain
And in revel tones
Wearing medals, going home
Our champions of the World Olympic Games
Our champions of the World Olympic Games
