Born to a restless sun under red-less skies
So goes the age-old story
Better to fight and fail than to never try
Going for love and glory
Young at heart, so unafraid
To meet his fate
And to everyone's surprise
Right before our eyes
The kid is a hero
The team is a winner
Nothing he'll ever do can outdo what's done
Rolled into just one gesture
All of the hours of work and of sweat are won
Give in to pain and pleasure
Joy, fortune, and fame
Will bless his name
And in one sweet shining hour
Dreams unfold and flower
The kid is a hero
The team is a winner
One sweet shining hour
Dreams unfold and flower
Pageantry and power
One sweet shining hour
The kid is a hero
The team is a winner
