The Gold And Beyond

On a snow crystal morning, some place close to heaven,
on the side of a mountain in a race for the sun.
In a matter of moments, the dream of a lifetime is won,
there’s a fire in the heart and it feels like the hunger.
The spirit is burning, consumed by the flame,
to be one of the best of the best in the world, is it’s name.
To go faster and farther than anyone’s ever before,
to be braver and stronger and truer and then even more.
To be all that you can be and all that you’ve ever longed for.

In the eyes of the mountain, all people are equal. In the eyes of all people, our souls can be seen.
In the course of our struggle, we’ll know what humanity means.
To be all that you can be and all that you’ve ever longed for,
we gather together to face one another. We gather in silence and sing for the sun.
We gather in peace to go for the gold and beyond.
