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.
