While it certainly captures the spirit of the Olympics, this powerful song is certain to be a student favorite year-round and into the future. Its message is timeless. Positive and full of energy, it speaks of competition and striving to do one's best, but the lyrics emphasize that "trying is winning."

Richly orchestrated and digitally recorded using top professionals, the majestic accompaniment adds just the right touch. And it's great as unison or two-part. (from Music K-8, Vol. 6, No. 3)
