Yeah, you can be the greatest, you can be the best
You can be the king kong banging on your chest
You can beat the world, you can win the war
You can talk to God, go banging on his door

You can throw your hands up, you can beat the clock
You can move a mountain, you can break rocks
You can be a master, don't wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you gon' find yourself

Standing in the hall of fame (yeah)
And the world's gonna know your name (yeah)
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame (yeah)

And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

You can run the mile
You can walk straight through hell with a smile
