The best thing the world has to offer
Only comes around every two years
When truely WE ARE THE WORLD
It is then we can forget all our cares

We marvel at these talented athletes
They come from all over the planet
Excelling in the sport of their choice
The thrill is too intense to explain it

The heart of gymnast Keri Strugs
With her pain still managed to land
And who can forget Eddie the Eagle or
The Samoan's who skied in the sand

We'll always remember when we won
A hard fought gold medal in basketball
And lest we never forget Jesse Owens
Despite the hatred he answered the call

Unfortunately the sad memory recalled
When politics again reared its ugly head
The Israeli team murdered for ideology
The whole world cried, the whole world bled

Of course we all like to root for our own
But sometimes others grab our attention
Like Nadie Comaneci and Torvel and Dean
And others to numerous to mention

Good luck to all who take part in the games
Respect each other for the athletes you are
You've earned this wonderful cultural exchange
Keep the doors of experience and learning ajar
