Two most encouraging songs:

Reach & The Power of The Dream

By Vincent Cheng

        If you ever watched the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games on T.V, you must ever hear these two songs. Of course, they are the theme songs of the Games sung by Gloria Estefan and Celine Dion* respectively.

 

        At first, after listening to these songs on T.V., I felt very moved and forgot them unconsciously next day. Fortunately I could have a chance to enjoy them again by borrowing these two singers' albums from my friends.

 

        Having listened to these songs with the lyrics, I found that not only the rhythm, but the words of these songs are very fascinating and meaningful. Once you feel very depressed and discouraged, I believe that you can be cheered up by hearing these two songs. The below are the lyrics of these two songs (part).                               

 

Reach by Gloria Estefan

 

Some dreams live on in time forever.

Those dreams you want with all you heart.

And I do whatever it takes

Following through with the promise I made

put it all on the line

what I hope for at last would be mine

 

If I can reach higher

Just for a moment touch the sky

From that one moment in my life

I gonna be stronger

Know that I'll try my very best

Put my spirit to test

If I could reach.

The Power of The Dream by Celine Dion (part)

 Deep within each heart

There lies a magic spark

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

Every one of us will play

 

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

 

The Power of the dream

The faith of things unseen

The courage to embrace your fear

No matter where you are

To reach for your own star

To realize the power of the dream

 

I hope you can enjoy how meaningful and encouraging these songs are. Reach is in the album of "Destiny" and The Power of The Dream is in the album of " Falling into you", which is awarded the best album in the World's Award 97.

 

* Celine Dion is my favourite singer and she has won a lot of honors and awards in the international this year. I want you can pay some or close attention to this singer.        ¡¼
