Pass It On

Around the streets of London in the summer sun .

The Olympic flame came and the games have begun ,

The Olympic flame was passed on from hand to hand .

Until its final destination in the grandstand .

On the Queen and world leaders the confetti fell .

Just like seven million paper stories to tell .

There are many stories that will end with a twist ,

Some have dreams that are captured ,

while others have missed.

Every story can be passed on for you and me

Its what we can call a mark in our history .
