London Olympics 2012

Red, white and blue
A city of diversity
Full of culture and creativity

Hosting the event of a century
To be part of history
Athletes far and near

Competing for a title
Willing to go the distance
Determine to achieve

Ambition is great
Anxiety is high
Audience cheering

Nerves shattering
Fear and doubt embed in the mind
Male and female wanting to succeed

To be the best they can be
To complete the race
To achieve the goal

To carry the torch
To wave the flag
To wear the gold

To honour the country and history be told.
