One Dream

written by: Sarah McLachlan

Lyrics

We can feel a change is coming
Like a kiss upon a tide
Breathing life into every heart
The hopeful kind of times
We’ll walk this road together
Though at times we felt alone
In the struggle to leave dissent
We find the strength one yet to find

You carry the courage, carry the history
But all are gone before you
Wherever you come from
Born of one dream finds you, standing here

And you know that you can make it
You’ve got the whole world in your hands
And you spend a lifetime working for this moment
And you are shining
You’re all that you wanted to be

When you’re airborne and free
At peace with gravity
High above everyone can see
The spirit of human ecology
How your flame keeps burning
When you leave all doubt behind
It’s a giant leap for mankind
At peace we all shine

You carry the courage, carry the history
But all are gone before you
Wherever you come from
Born of one dream finds you, standing here

And you know that you can make it
You’ve got the whole world in your hands
Cause you spend your lifetime working for this moment
(you are shining)
And you are shining
(you are shining)
You are all that you wanted to be
(you are shining)
And you are shining
You’re all that you wanted to be
