Lyrics

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...
