Let the Games Begin

I was lucky enough to get along to the Commonwealth Games Civic Service, at Glasgow Cathedral, earlier this evening ...

... this is a really bad shot of the very moment that the Baton arrived in the Cathedral ;-)

The whole service was full of anticipation, and the Cathedral was looking absolutely wonderful.

East40 performed their UNICEF Charity Single - you can read more about the project here and here; hear/watch them here; and the song-lyrics are below:


Let the Games Begin!

Take flight, the next generations here tonight, no hesitation
And we will leave nothing to fate.
Can you take what you dared to dream, turn it into reality,
This world is yours to create now?

Push, pull do what you have to do
Keep on, there's no place for doubt in you
Once more, your destiny waits

How will you act in adversity
Give up, give in, say it's not for me
We all know you've got what it takes

Chorus

Ooooh let the games begin
Ooooh the whole world is waiting
Ooooh in one heartbeat everything can change
So let the games begin

Look up all the children on their feet
Stand tall everyone is here to see
You take your place in the greatest parade

You feel adrenaline rushing
Take stock breathe every moment in
And the memory never will fade.

Chorus

Ooooh let the games begin
Ooooh the whole world is waiting
Ooooh in one heartbeat everything can change
So let the games begin

Let the games begin
The whole world is waiting
In one heartbeat everything can change
So take your seats for the show that never ends.

And let the games begin
