Straight out, I'm heading for a miracle
Pushing the edge making it subliminal
To loose or win that's not the essence
Teamwork makes for us all the difference
Although you cannot tell me
They're all jokers of some training therapy
Programmed to go for only one thing
Gold medals hanging on a string

Gotta run
Gotta run, run with the torch yeah

So long ago all watching the TV-screens
Hearts beating like you never ever ever seen
Eternal flame burns in the heart
But every four years it glows for Olympiad
See them skating with the smile on the ice
A kind of magic straight out of paradise
Programmed to go for only one thing
Gold medals hanging on a string

Gotta run
Gotta run, run with the torch yeah

One thing's for sure
Winning can be beautiful
Competition is real
And totally natural
But be honest with yourself
When you're a part of the game
Playing on dope just ain't the same
Tears of pain and tears of joy
It doesn't really matter
As long as you enjoy
Programmed to go for only one thing
Gold medals hanging on a string

The need for sport is driven by passion
United all over in colours and fashion

Gotta run
Gotta run, run with the torch yeah
