Olympics: In friendship and peace

In friendship and peace, let the Olympic games begin,
Uniting the world through these games, whether we lose or win.
Uniting the people in these games, as they compete,
Uniting the rest of us, as we watch from our seat.

Let the games bring a chance to learn about each other,
Bringing us a chance for new friendships to discover.
Recognising that we have one world that we all share,
Bringing understanding and letting us learn to care.

When it’s all over, let us take those friendships away,
Let’s remember the joy this unity brought our way.
Within each of us, we carry the Olympic light,
Let’s forever keep the peace found there, within our sight.
