"One Dream" by Sarah McLachlan (Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games)

This song will be one of the official theme songs of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Vancouver's well-known Sarah McLachlan has composed and performed this piece, and the question is whether she will perform it at the Opening Ceremony at BC Place Stadium on February 12, 2010.

As well, there are rumours that this will be the promo song for NBC and CTV's coverage of the 2010 Games. It's possible that this song has nothing to do with VANOC and the ceremonies but rather just the broadcasters or that this song is one of several official theme songs for the 2010 Games.

Vancouver welcomes you and the world for the 21st Olympic Winter Games in 2010.

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

@97elitedancegirl As a volunteer working around BC Place I do know to a certain extent what you mean not only the volunteers but the public as well. It was so spiecial just the spirit of the people kind of like Christmas where almost everyone was in a great mood even the volunteers at the end of thier shift were happy to help out public or voluteers and this goes for public to. I wouldlike to say thanks to those in the Olympic areas. not just for putting up with people but for thierr help too

[97elitedancegirl]

I wish the olympics came back because we all came together to cheer on our athletes like a family (if you no what i mean) it was just a really happy time for everyone :)
