(Soft, melodic guitar plucking with distant atmospheric synths)
Yeah, yeah
Listen to the rhythm inside your soul
You are made for greatness
From the rising of the sun to the set
Your time is now, brother
Your time is now, sister
Let it shine
I remember the nights when the road was cold
Walking through the rain, stories yet untold
They said I was nothing, said I couldn't climb
But I kept on pushing, kept on grinding mine
There is a fire burning deep within my chest
I’m passing every trial, passing every test
I see the vision clearly, I’m focused on the prize
Look at the reflection shining in my eyes
Oh, no turning back, I’m moving forward now
With every single step, I’m showing them how
I’m breaking every chain, I’m rising to the light
Everything is changing, everything is bright
I am a champion, born to shine (Born to shine!)
Leaving all the shadows, leave them all behind (All behind!)
I am a champion, touch the sky (Touch the sky!)
Watch me as I’m soaring, watch me as I fly (Watch me fly!)
(Children chanting: Oh-oh-oh-oh, we are shining bright!)
(Children chanting: Oh-oh-oh-oh, we own the light!)
Look at my brothers, look at my friends
We are on a journey where the glory never ends
No room for the envy, no room for the doubt
We are celebrating what it’s all about
Feel the heavy bass, feel the drum beat strong
This is the anthem, this is where we belong
It’s a celebration, let the joy flow free
This is the best version of you and of me
I am a champion, born to shine (Born to shine!)
Leaving all the shadows, leave them all behind (All behind!)
I am a champion, touch the sky (Touch the sky!)
Watch me as I’m soaring, watch me as I fly (Watch me fly!)
(Children chanting: Oh-oh-oh-oh, we are shining bright!)
(Children chanting: Oh-oh-oh-oh, we own the light!)
When the mountain seems too high
And the clouds cover up the sky
Just remember who you are
You are a burning star
Keep your head held up, keep your spirit bold
You are worth more than a city made of gold
Yeah, we are gold, yeah we are gold!
I am a champion, born to shine (Born to shine!)
Leaving all the shadows, leave them all behind (All behind!)
I am a champion, touch the sky (Touch the sky!)
Watch me as I’m soaring, watch me as I fly (Watch me fly!)
(Children chanting: Oh-oh-oh-oh, we are shining bright!)
(Children chanting: Oh-oh-oh-oh, we own the light!)
Born to shine, yeah
Just believe in yourself
It’s your time, it’s your moment
Keep on shining, keep on winning
(Fading percussion and joyful children’s chants)
Yeah, champion forever.
