Woorden: John Denver. The Gold And Beyond.

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 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 you've ever longed for

We gather together to face one another
We gather in silence to sing for the sun
We gather in peace to go for the gold and beyond
