Hall Of Fame (Original Version) Lyrics
The Script
Lyrics
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
Some will call that practice, some will call that luck
But either way your going to the history books
Standing in the hall of fame,
And the worlds gonna know your name
'Cos it burns with the brightest flame
And the worlds gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
You can go the distance, you can run a mile
You can walk straight through hell with a smile
You can be the hero, you can get the gold
Breaking all the records they thought would never be broke
Yeah, do it for your people, do it for your pride
Never even know if you never even try
Do it for your country, do it for your name
'Cos there's gonna be a day
When your standing in the hall of fame
And the worlds gonna know your name
'Cos it burns with the brightest flame
And the worlds gonna know your name
And youll be on the walls of the hall of fame
On the walls of the hall of fame
Be students, be teachers
Be politicians, be preachers
Be believers, be leaders
Be astronauts, Be champions
Be truth seekers
Be students, be teachers
Be politicians, be preachers
Be believers, be leaders
Be astronauts, Be champions
Be truth seekers
Standing in the hall of fame
And the worlds gonna know your name
'Cos it burns with the brightest flame
And the worlds gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
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
Some will call that practice, some will call that luck
But either way your going to the history books
Standing in the hall of fame
