Lyrics : There's a dream, I feel So rare, so real All the world in union The world as one Gathering together One mind, one heart Every creed, every color Once joined, never apart Searching for the best in me I will find what I can be If I win, lose or draw There's a winner in us all It's the world in union The world as one As we climb to reach our destiny A new age has begun We face high mountains Must cross rough seas We must take our place in history And live with dignity Just to be the best I can Sets the goal for every man If I win, lose or draw It's a victory for all It's the world in union The world as one As we climb to reach our destiny A new age has begun It's the world in union The world as one As we climb to reach our destiny A new age has begun
