The Gold And Beyond — John Denver

On a snow crystal morning some place close to heaven On the side of a mountain in a race for the sun In a matter of moments the dream of a lifetime is won

There's a fire in the heart and it feels like the hunger The spirit is burning consumed by the flame To be one of the best of the best in the world Is its name

To go faster and farther Than anyone's ever before To be braver and stronger And truer and then even more To be all that you can be And all that you've ever longed for

In the eyes of the mountain all people are equal In the eyes of all people our souls can be seen In the course of our struggle we'll know what humanity means

To be all that you can be And all that you've ever longed fo--r

We gather together to face one another We gather in silence and sing for the sun We gather in peace - to Go for the Gold and Beyond
