Lyrics

Intro/Chant/Outro
Yocha noh gweh yocha, yocha noh gweh yocha, yocha noh gweh yocha
Yocha yocha

Chorus 1
Light the flame, light the flame, light the flame
All the love that you get give the same
Leave behind all the grief
You can overcome the pain
And light the flame

Verse
You can be swifter, you can aim further
Yes, you can reach higher than before
You can be stronger, you can act wiser
Oh yes, you can achieve a better score

Bridge
Now you've come of age
Don't allow fear in anymore
Today has become Your Day
The day that you were born to live
The day that you were born to give
A little bit more, give a little bit more

Chorus 2
Catch the flame, catch the flame, catch the flame
All the love that you get give the same
Leave behind all the grief
You can overcome the pain

Chorus 3
Pass the flame, pass the flame, pass the flame
All the love that you get give the same
Leave behind all the grief
You can overcome the pain

And free the flame
Free the flame

Be the flame (Yocha noh gweh yocha, yocha noh gweh yocha)
Be the flame (Yocha noh gweh yocha, yocha yocha)
Free the flame

London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay: The lighting ceremony in Olympia

   

London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay: The lighting ceremony in Olympia


With just 78 days until the London 2012 Games begin and under sunny skies, the Olympic flame has been lit in Ancient Olympia during a ceremony organized by the Hellenic Olympic Committee. The flame was created using the sun's rays and a parabolic mirror by the high Priestess -- Ino Menegaki -- at the Temple of Hera. It was then carried into the Ancient Olympic Stadium in a choreographed procession before being used to light the torch of the first torchbearer - British-born Greek open water swimming world champion and three-time Olympian Spyros Gianniotis. The flame will now be taken on an eight-day relay around Greece before being handed over to the London 2012 Organising Committee during a ceremony in Athens at the Panathenaic stadium, ahead of it being taken back to Great Britain, where the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay -- presented by Coca-Cola, Lloyds TSB and Samsung -- gets underway on 19 May.
