Going For the Gold

Well now and I'm Going for the Gold
Not standing in the shadows 
Giving it my heart and soul 
Up the mountain, down the road 
New found determination, no 
Competition, first edition 
Not standing, not standing 
In the shadows 'cuz here I go 
Here I go going for the Gold 
Well and I will not settle for 
Second best go on now and put me 
To the test, I will not give up, I will 
Not give in no, and I will not give up 
I've still got too much life to live 
And love to give so hold on 'cuz 
Here I go, here I go 
Going For the Gold 
Not standing in the shadows 
Giving it my heart and soul 
Up the mountain, down the road 
New found determination, no 
Competition, first edition 
Not standing, not standing 
In the shadows 'cuz here I go 
Here I go going for the Gold 
It's just not in my nature to 
Back down from a challenge 
No, I can do anything I set my mind to 
Just stand back now and watch me 
Make all my dreams come true 
If it's the last thing I do 
When I get something in my head 
That’s that so you just stand back 
And watch me, watch me now 
Going For the Gold 
Not standing in the shadows 
Giving it my heart and soul 
Up the mountain, down the road 
New found determination, no 
Competition, first edition 
Not standing, not standing 
In the shadows 'cuz here I go 
Here I go going for the Gold.
