Sunday's Lyrics -- REACH by GLORIA ESTAFAN

As a Canadian watching the 1996 Olympic Games, there are many fond memories etched in mind. Among those memories, the closing ceremony song Reach, sung by Gloria Estafan, is one that moved me... just a newly aspiring athlete at the time.  And now has I have become a World-Class athlete it is still a song that inspires me to continue reaching.


REACH by Gloria Estafan

Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart
And I'll do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach



Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So I'll go the distance this time
Seeing more the higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this dream will be mine

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
I'm goona be stronger
From that one moment in my life
Im gonna be so much stronger yes I am
Know that Ive tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach higher
If I could, if I could
If I could reach
Reach, I'd reach, I'd reach
I'd reach I'd reach so much higher
Be stronger
