   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 choir 1. She will sing at the dinner for the Governor-Generals of the Commonwealth 2 tomorrow and at the official dinner for the New Zealand Olympic athletes.
  Here are the words for the chorus 3 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.
