1996年亚特兰大奥运歌曲The Power Of The Dream

 

The Power Of The Dream
Celine Dion

Deep within each heart there lies a magic spark¹
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man. The strength of just I can
Has brought together people of all nations

There's nothing ordinary in the living of each day
There's a special part that everyone of us will play

Feel the flame forever burn teaching² lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us its best to stand apart from all the rest
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Your mind will take you far. The rest is just pure heart
You'll find your fate³ is all your own creation⁴
And every boy and girl as they come into this world
They bring the gift of hope and inspiration⁵

Feel the flame forever burn teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace. We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

There's so much strength in all of us, every woman, child and man
It's the moment that you think you can't. You'll discover that you can

Feel the flame forever burn teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace. We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Feel the flame forever burn teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace. We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here (Repeat)
To realize the power of the dream (Repeat)
