 　　Sam RB won the competition for the New Zealand Olympic Song earlier this year. It is called ‘Stand Tall’ which means ‘be confident, be proud of yourself’. Sam is a busker who makes her living from composing songs and singing accompanied by her guitar. She won the competition earlier this year from 200 other entries. She recorded this song with a group of children from a primary school. She also recorded it with a New Zealand Sign Language interpreter.

　　However, this week she is in London and recorded her song with a church choir1. She will sing at the dinner for the Governor-Generals of the Commonwealth2 tomorrow and at the official dinner for the New Zealand Olympic athletes.
　　Here are the words for the chorus3 of the song:
　　You stand tall
　　You stand strong
　　You stand above
　　You stand beyond
　　You carry our dreams
　　You carry our hopes
　　A nation proud
　　We wish you well.
