Around the world he traveled To start the games that he dreamed of, dreamed of His biggest triumph lingers Will only slip through his fingers He wants to feel the crowd And be a winner Each time he takes the step His reason now for living Praying silently He's running there Running faster To hear the sheers The crowd moves closer He's getting near A smile displays his victory It's only for a moment, a moment Towards the sky in wonder His mind begins to wander The cheers are getting near His name he hears But he will never fall This is really living Praying silently He's getting near His time is here The crowd gets closer
The end is near From childhood to manhood He didn't seem to care He had no time for people He had no time to share The biggest race of all He wants to feel the crowd And be a winner Each time he takes a step His reason is now for living Praying silently He's running here Running faster To hear the cheers The crowd moves closer He's getting near He's almost here Getting faster His time is here The crowds move closer The end is here Annie Haslam-lead and backing vocals Michael Dunford-acoustic guitars Terrence Sullivan- drums and percussion Mickey Simmonds-keyboards and orchestral arrangments Alex Caird-ba** guitar
