Verse 1


Sometimes it feels impossible I know,

Like you’re living in the fastest lane of all.

But we’re all in the same sinking boat,

Trying to win the game and stay afloat.


Verse 2


So don’t let love be your enemy,

Cause it will force you down to your knees.

Is it getting harder to breathe?

Darling, just stay close to me.


Chorus


Eyes open, watch where you tread,

Don’t let anyone get to your head.

Stay awake, the rules always change,

So welcome to the golden games.


Eyes open, watch where you land,

Don’t let just anybody take your hand.

Stay awake, now you’re carrying the flame,

Yeah welcome to the golden games.


Verse 3


Chin up yeah wipe the frown from off your face,

Just think at least you’re not in last place.

Yeah the race against the clock still rages on,

But we’ll fight until the battle’s come and gone.


Verse 4


Some people have luck beside them,

But everyone will lose it in the end.

Cause nothing really lasts forever,

But a little time is far better than never.


Chorus


Eyes open, watch where you tread,

Don’t let anyone get to your head.

Stay awake, the rules always change,

So welcome to the golden games.


Eyes open, watch where you land,

Don’t let just anybody take your hand.

Stay awake, now you’re carrying the flame,

Yeah welcome to the golden games.

Bridge


And when you’ve finally found the one,

Hold on tight, even when the day is done.

You never know what the future will hold,

What you give is what you get, so I’ve been told.


Chorus


Eyes open, watch where you tread,

Don’t let anyone get to your head.

Stay awake, the rules always change,

So welcome to the golden games.


Eyes open, watch where you land,

Don’t let just anybody take your hand.

Stay awake, now you’re carrying the flame,

Yeah welcome to the golden games. 
The golden games
The golden games
Welcome to the golden games
The golden games
The golden games
