  • Yeah, you could be the greatest
    You can be the best
    You can be the King Kong banging on your chest

    You could beat the world
    You could beat the war
    You could talk to God, go banging on his door

    You can throw your hands up
    You can beat the clock
    You can move a mountain
    You can break rocks
    You can be a master
    Don't wait for luck
    Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself

    Standing in the hall of fame
    And the world's gonna know your name
    'Cause you burn with the brightest flame
    And the world's gonna know your name
    And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

    You could go the distance
    You could run the mile
    You could walk straight through hell with a smile

    You could be the hero
    You could get the gold
    Breaking all the records that thought, never could be broke

    Do it for your people
    Do it for your pride
    How you ever gonna know if you never even try?

    Do it for your country
    Do it for you name
    'Cause there's gonna be a day

    When your, standing in the hall of fame
    And the world's gonna know your name
    'Cause you burn with the brightest flame
    And the world's gonna know your name
    And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

    Be a champion, be a champion, be a champion, be a champion

    On the walls of the hall of fame

    Be students, be teachers
    Be politicians, be preachers

    Be believers, be leaders
    Be astronauts Be champions
    Be truth seekers

    Be students, be teachers
    Be politicians, be preachers

    Be believers, be leaders
    Be astronauts, be champions

    Standing in the hall of fame
    And the world's gonna know your name
    'Cause you burn with the brightest flame
    And the world's gonna know your name
    And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

    (You can be a champion) You could be the greatest, you can be the best
    (You can be a champion)You can be the King Kong banging on your chest
    You could beat the world (you can be a champion)
    You could beat the war (you can be a champion)
    You could talk to God, go banging on his door (you can be a champion)

    You can throw your hands up (you can be a champion)
    You can beat the clock (you can be a champion)
    You can move a mountain (you can be a champion)
    You can break rocks (you can be a champion)

    You can be a master (you can be a champion)
    Don't wait for luck (you can be a champion)

    Be believers, be leaders
    Be astronauts, be champions

    Standing in the hall of fame
    And the world's gonna know your name
