Verse 1
We've all dreamed of running
In the Olympic Games
Every four years we're cheering
Flags flying heart jittery
The athletes are really something
Keep us glued to our screens but
Don't lose track of how hard it is
to make it to a stage like this
Chorus
It's the hard work and time
It's the sacrifice
It's what you did in the dark
That pushed you into the light
It's the time, the time
Time you sacrificed
You never quit, just tried and tried
And kept dreaming of the bright lights
Verse 2
We've all dreamed of winning
Gold looks good on TV
Every four years we're watching
Dreams becoming reality
The athletes are really something
Reporters count the metals but
They don't even really matter
Win or lose you deserve the chatter
Chorus 2
It's the hard work and time
It's the sacrifice
It's what you did in the dark
That pushed you into the light
It's the time, the time
Time you sacrificed
You never quit, just tried and tried
And kept dreaming of the bright lights
Bridge
You will always have this moment
No one can ever take it away from you
Chorus 3
It's the hard work and time
It's the sacrifice
It's what you did in the dark
That put you in the light
It's the time, the time
All that time you sacrificed
You never quit, never quit
You always kept dreaming of the bright lights
