Lyrics of one world one dream by Tan Jing

lanterns light up the night sky

in celebration as the nations of the world

all come together for a brief moment

there is peace and harmony

beijing, beijing

the whole world hears your call

welcome one and all to beijing

in every lifetime there’s a moment

when every heart fills up with pride

and you feel such a feeling deep inside

one world one dream

is our shared hope

is our shared expectation

one world one dream

the time has come

to start the celebration

one world one dream…

people fill up the stadium

children are laughing as the time has come to see

who is the strongest, who is the fastest,

who’s the finest of them all

god speed, good luck

and may your fortunes soar

and know that it’s you we’re cheering for

in every contest there’s a winner

who gets the glory fair and square

but together there’s a victory we can share

one world one dream

is our shared hope

is our shared expectation

one world one dream

is all it takes

to make a winner of us all

one world one dream…

instrumental break

from every dream we must awaken

for every journey there’s an end

but perhaps there lies an answer ‘round the bend

one world one dream

is our shared hope

is our shared expectation

one world one dream

the time has come

to be a global nation

one world one dream

is our shared hope

is our shared expectation

one world one dream

the time has come

to be a global nation

one world one dream

one world one dream

to be a global nation

one world one dream…
