On a snow-crystal morning, someplace 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 a hunger The spirit is burning, consumed by a flame To be one of the best of the best in the world is its name To go faster and farther than anyone ever before To be braver and stronger and truer, and then even more To give all that you can be, and all that you'll ever long for In the eyes of the mountain, all people are equal In the eyes of all people, our soul can be seen In the course of our struggle, we'll know what humanity means To give all that you can be, and all that you'll ever long for We gather together to face one another We gather in silence to sing for the sun We gather in peace to go for the gold and beyond
