加拿大魁北克法裔天后［席琳狄翁］──流行抒情佳作──亞特蘭大奧運會開幕曲──［The Power of Dream／夢想的力量］

Deep within each heart

There lies a magic spark

That lights the fire of our imagination

And since the dawn of man

The strength of just "I can"

Has brought together people of all nations

Theres nothing ordinary

In the living of each day

Theres 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

Youll find your fate is all your own creation

And 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 in lights and hope and peace

Well pray that you will always be

It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Theres so much strength in all of us

Every woman child and man

Its the moment that you think you cant

Youll 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 in lights and hope and peace

(Well 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 in lights and hope and peace)

Well pray that it will always be

(It is) the power of the dream that brings us,

(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

To realize the power of the dream

１９９６年　美國亞特蘭大奧運會開幕典禮

當紅的２８歲加拿大魁北克法裔歌手席琳狄翁（Celine Dion）獻唱［The Power of Dream／夢想的力量］

此曲由加拿大製作天王大衛福斯特, 美籍妻子琳達湯普遜（Linda Thompson）以及美國黑人製作天王娃娃臉（Babyface）合寫

福斯特與娃娃臉共同製作成一首朝氣昂揚, 氣勢磅礡的流行抒情曲（不過人覺得大衛的風格較強烈）

加上席琳有力的詮釋　振奮人心

（大衛擔任鋼琴　亞特蘭大交響樂團伴奏）

［The Power of Dream］只在日本發行單曲, 登上Oricon單曲榜＃３０　賣出７。５萬張　拿到金唱片

不過其它國家的電台仍熱播

當時狄翁推出不久的［Falling Into You］專輯正在世界熱賣

［The Power of Dream］只收錄在日本與澳洲的限定版, 不然就是某些單曲的B-Side

儘管如此這仍是席琳的名曲之一
