(Linda Thompson / David Foster, Babyface)

Deep within each heart

There lies a magic spark
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man

The strenght 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
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 fate is all your own creation

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

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 in 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
