The power of the dream/梦想的力量


作曲：大卫•福斯特& 娃娃脸
作词：L•汤普森
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 everyone of us will play
Feel the flame forever burn teaching 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 best is just pure heart
you'll find your fate is all your own creation
And every boy and girl
as they come into this world
they bring the gift of hope and inspiration
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
[Refrain]
It is the power of the dream that brings us here
to realize the power of the dream
to realize the power of the dream

　　这首歌出自当时全球流行音乐界最出色的音乐制作人之一大卫•福斯特，歌曲的演唱者也是当时乐坛最具实力和人气（周杰伦无疑是当今乐坛最具人气的音乐制作人和歌手，期待杰作千山万水。）唱片全球销量超过一亿，获得过奥斯卡和格莱美等多项音乐大奖的加拿大籍流行歌后席琳迪翁。
　　大卫•福斯特是席琳迪翁的制作人，他很清楚Celine的高亢，激昂的嗓音正适合于演唱像奥运会这样题材的歌曲，于是他为席琳迪翁量身定做了这首"梦的力量"。这对黄金组合也确实给我们带来了惊喜，歌曲凭着自身的魅力和锡林迪翁优异的演唱技巧和表达，获得了极大的成功，告诉了人们，只要敢去想，那就是成功的开始。（杰伦的千山万水也会告诉我们：中华已崛起！）
　　歌曲打破了以往奥运主题歌都是合唱的形式，由此使席琳迪翁成为了奥运会史上第一位独自演唱主题歌的歌手，并且是女歌手，这同样也是席琳迪翁演艺事业的一大飞跃！
