Athletes of the Olympic Games,
See through the flicker of the flames,
Those treasured words you’ll always know,
You were right there! You made The Show!
You have the spirit, walk with pride,
A special feeling lives inside,
Forever you shall always know,
That you were there! You made The Show!
As future years may do or be,
This is your living legacy,
You trained and qualified to go,
And you were there! You made The Show!
On any list … among the names,
Recording the Olympic Games,
Wherever in the world you go,
One of a kind! You made The Show!
The world of the Olympic Games,
Olympic size crowned by great aims,
Can never change one thing you know,
Forevermore! You made The Show!
