[Intro]
[?]
[Verse 1]
Tell me how legends are made
Like the winner that's hot
Taking the gold
Breathe in the air, same air that we breathe
Mixed emotions at the 2000 games
[Pre-Chorus]
What does it take to get to the top
Something inside you just can't stop
What does it take to end anticipation
[Chorus]
Calling Every Nation
Calling Every Nation
Calling Every Nation
Calling Every Nation
[Verse 2]
Physical strength is put to the test
To the human mind from around the world
What does it take to win for a nation
Blood, sweat, tears, and imagination
Courage over years and determination
[Chorus]
Calling Every Nation
Calling Every Nation
Calling Every Nation
Calling Every Nation
[Pre-Chorus]
What does it take to get to the top
Something inside you just can't stop
What does it take to end anticipation
Courage over years and determination
[Chorus]
Calling Every Nation
Calling Every Nation (Chasing time)
Calling Every Nation (Chasing time)
Calling Every Nation (Chasing time)
Calling Every Nation (Chasing time)
Calling Every Nation (Chasing time)
Calling Every Nation (Chasing time)
Calling Every Nation (Chasing time)
[Instrumental]
