John Denver in Sarajevo - The Gold And Beyond & Just A Dream Away (1984)

This is a music video of two songs written for the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics sung by John Denver: "The Gold And Beyond" & "Just A Dream Away".
The first song was written by John Denver and Lee Holdridge. The second song was written by Michael Miller and Monica Riordan - Thanks a bunch to Michael for the information!
The video was filmed in Sarajevo in 1984 and the audio was recorded in the USA in the same year.
I hope everybody can get inspired from these two songs and enjoy this year's Winter Olympics.
Thanks for watching.


On a snow crystal morning
Some place close to heaven
On the side of a mountain
In a race for the sun

In a matter of moments
The dream of a lifetime is won
There's a fire in the heart
And it feels like the hunger

The spirit is burning
Consumed by the flame
To be one of the best
Of the best in the world is its name

To be faster and farther
Than anyone's ever before
To be braver and stronger
And truer and then even more
To be all that you can be
And all that youve ever longed for

In the eyes of a mountain
All people are equal
In the eyes of all people
Our souls can be seen
In the course of our struggle
We'll know what humanity means

To be all that you can be
And all that youve ever longed for

We gather together
To face one another
We gather in silence
And sing in the sun
We gather in peace
To go for the gold and beyond


When a dream is born
A dreamer has to live for more
Believing what he's never known
He stands alone

Where a chance begins
Wherever secret hopes pretend
Like daybreak on the darkest night
He'll see the light

It's just a dream away
You'll know it when you're there one day
Keep reaching for the world somehow
There's nothing that can stop you now
Dream your way... dream it all

Years of hope within
Then feeling what it's like to win
This dreamer's gonna find a way
To see that day

It's just a dream away
You'll know it when you're there one day
Keep reaching for the world somehow
There's nothing that can stop you now
Dream your way... dream it all

It's really lovely to see these two songs posted together. However, to correct the description along the right-hand side, please note that "The Gold & Beyond" was composed by John Denver & Lee Holdridge (with lyrics by John Denver), and "Just A Dream Away" was composed by Michael Miller (with lyrics by Monica Riordan).
