well he was just tryin'
to make it abroad
and he had no fear
just a thrill for the chase
and he was one of the few
willing to take that risk
and now he's gone
and now he's gone
when he looked down a hill
all he saw was a race
nothin' but a track
that could bring him some gold
and like all before
ya, he pushed so hard
and now he's gone
and it's just sad to think that
now he is a hero though
nobody knows his name
he never had the chance to show
what makes him so great
what makes him so great
well everyone's in shock
and their looking for blame
and there's at least one boy
he's afraid to go on
cuz when they look down that track
and they think of this face
they know he's gone
they know he's gone
and it's just sad to think that
now he is a hero though
nobody knows his name
he never had the chance to show
what makes him so great
what makes him so great
