This was the song that was played during the lighting of the Olympic Flame:

The lyrics are this I think:
Quote:
And the rain passed above us, In the garden of the world
But a flame arrives to guide us, Past the gold between the anvils of the stars
Watching over all the children in the rain, And the streets where I remember
Where the fire that lights a candle soars again
A flaring flame, Hear it call
Through the darkness, hear it call to us all
And start again, It's beating heart comes again
And the light drive out our fears, And the joy drive out our pain
And the nations come to greet us, waving open arms of waves of golden corn
Ever hear us, Oh the spirit of the world
May your light be ever near us, Always lead us from the dark,
Though we may fall, We will fly
And with love, Hear the call

Incidentally the title of the song is called Caliban's Dream. It was a speech from Caliban in The Tempest which was quoted at the start of the Industrial revolution segment of the Opening Ceremony.
Very cool.
