Lyrics Champion (feat. Gilly G & Dapz On The Map) [Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games: Official Anthem] - UB40 feat. Gilly G & Dapz on the Map

Whatever race, colour or creed
We all share the same dream, to succeed
If you have the power and speed
With the will to lead
You can be the number one
Champion

Higher, faster, further, stronger
Bigger, better, deeper, longer
If you've taken on the best
And you've risen to the test
You can be the number one
Champion

'Cause from the moment you rise
'Til when you step on that starting line
Just one thought passes through your mind
"Today is gonna be all mine"

It's not about win or lose
To always better yourself is the path you choose
Put one foot forward and do
Whatever you were meant to

Higher, faster, further, stronger
Bigger, better, deeper, longer
If you've taken on the best
And you've risen to the test
You can be the number one
Champion

Welcome to my city Birmingham
Calling all my Commonwealth fam
Summertime when the city haffi ram
We heading to the Alexander stadium

Come follow me Jamboree
Commonwealth the people's party
Rise up and stand pon your feet (woah)
'Cause we come for compete

Play your position, play your part
Play it smart
You can stand your ground
Or you can fall apart

You can stop and start
Or be consistent from the start
Hard work beats talent
If talent don't work hard

Put trust in your vision
Know it ain't no façade
Came to leave your mark
Been ready from "On your marks"
'Cause you can be the number one
Champion
Woah

Higher, faster, further, stronger
Bigger, better, deeper, longer
If you've taken on the best
And you've risen to the test
You can be the number one
Champion

Higher, faster, further, stronger
Bigger, better, deeper, longer
If you've taken on the best
And you've risen to the test
You can be the number one
Champion

Higher, faster, further, stronger
Bigger, better, deeper, longer
If you've taken on the best
And you've risen to the test...
