The “Human Rights Torch” Song Lyrics
From mount Olympus the mighty flame was lit,
The radiant flag, the interlocking rings,
Friendship and glory, giving freely,
Co-operation for peace, justice, human rights and freedom.
In the skies, on Earth, oceans, valleys,
Life is in flight, our souls calling out.
May the sacred Olympic flag always ripple high
In the blue sky
Bei Jing Olympics, two thousand and eight,
Menacing feeling is filling the air.
Eighty million skeletons pave the prosperous road,
Tears of blood built the palace of grandeur.
End the persecution, bring back human kindness,
Handcuffs cannot replace the interlocking rings
Let human rights light up the earth
The Olympic purity cannot be stained with blood
From mount Olympus the mighty flame was lit,
The radiant flag, the interlocking rings,
Friendship and glory, giving freely,
Co-operation for peace, justice, human rights and freedom.
In the skies, on Earth, oceans, valleys,
Life is in flight, our souls calling out.
May the sacred Olympic flag always ripple high
In the blue sky!
