Happy young people with a heartfelt dream

a medal on the horizon, their talents screened

representing the country they love most

and the countrymen who later will of them boast

backstabbing and bitterness reported, we are told

all of them have the ability, all went for gold

Happy young people earning an award

the smiles on their faces of one accord

nothing is achieved by doubt or laziness

competition makes you strive with zest

keep going, you are loved in our hearts we enfold

all of you inspire us to go for gold

Disappointment causes a few tears

you may have to wait another four years

all of us have gifts, and if I can be bold

all should follow the example, all should go for gold

Happy young people, you do your level best

and though tired and weary, have passed the test

God Bless You
