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
